Refute the Discussions

A discussion is a sharing of viewpoints. If we all agreed on everything life would be very dull.

For it's OK as long us no violation of the guidelines, it's normal to object some point of view if it is against our belief or principles. If you have ideas about the issue you can interact with those members who refute each other under your discussion. Being professional to others can help to resolve the issues

That is what makes a good discussion, the difference of opinions, providing you can respect another person's view on the subject without castigating the other persons belief or their views on the subject in question. We can learn a lot by other people have a different viewpoint than our own. The same with criticism, as long as it's constructive criticism that is.

You only go through life once. I feel that if you feel strongly that something is wrong or someones idea is wrong then you need to speek out. BUt you must also be ready to tak the flack that comes along with it.

I have seen discussions like the one you described. Sometimes,even though there could be arguments between members, at least they show a clear picture of the positive and negative sides of what the topic is about. What is annoying are those comments that are made sarcastically. Those people either just do not care about the feelings of others or would just probably want to make a "scene".

No,I don't feel so.If I am wrong,I must be corrected.I would learn from it.Nobody can be right always.Sometimes I am wrong and when I am wrong,I would welcome someone who may point out my mistake.However I have never refuted any discussion ever since I joined Mylot.In fact,I have never come across any discussion that needs to be corrected.And even if I find any such discussion,I would hesitate to refute it.Or,I would try to refute it very politely so that the initiator of the discussion may not get hurt.This is my nature.

i don't mind when people refute my post. i am not always right. the reason why i post is to hear different points of view. i may not agree with them, but i have to respect it.

Hi Shavkat: I think your reflection is wise and that we can actually learn from these situations. you can feel bad or on the opposite, see the reasons why your discussion was refused and thus be a better topic starter. Also you can learn to make better argumentation. ALVARO

Hi, If you hang out your thoughts for all to see, do not expect everyone to agree to it. We are all different no matter how wide our views can be, thus the differences in opinions. It is good practice to respect the point of view of others even if goes against ours, some may not be generally acceptable, then it is time to correct it and in the end, the sharing of ideas may result to getting nearer at the truth which is the ultimate goal in every discussion.

Everyone has their own opinions and understanding of a concern. Thus , a discussion would most likely be refuted by anyone who believes contrary. However, in my opinion when one has to refute a discussion she/he should approach it in a manner that would not be offending. It should not be in a confrontational way.

I will not feel bad if my point of view is being refuted by others. In other words, when others have different stand than ours. This is completely normal. People who make a big fuss and really argue because of that is quite immature to me. Discussion is made to be of different voices and views. And through that we are going to get some kind of insights. Be positive and enjoy our discussions.

Hi I agree people have different opinions about different matters and we should respect that. But some do it in a respectful manner while some do not which is bad . everyone has the right to put their point in a right way /professional way . This is on people how they take it and also on those how they put it. Both have the responsibility to make the discussion healthy.

Hi Shavkat, nice discussion you started here. Anyway, I really do not mind if people do not agree with my opinion in the discussions I have created or joined in. Just as long as they state their opinion in a respectable manner, then it's okay bceause chances are, I might also learn from them.

Refuting someone in an argument (in my opinion) feels very powerful. It's as if there's some hierarchy of debating that is there but not explained. one of the lowest being an opinion, and one of the top being refuting one's opinion.

Hmmm. If I've written something incorrectly and someone else has proof of that, I would welcome knowing. That's how we learn.

In so many cases when we are posting on a site like mylot, we are sharing our own personal opinions and it is only natural that there would be a lot of people that didn't share our same opinions. I know that when I am asking something about someone's opinion and I also share my own there are going to be a lot of people that are not in agreement of me. This is never something that I will allow to hurt my feelings because I do acknowledge the fact that we all have our own different opinions.

hi, for me hmm,i will not feel bad if someone will refute my discussion because everybody have their own opinion or they have free speech to comment about my discussion,actually i experienced that before when i was new here in mylot and i just ignored them.

I think it is silly, stupid and moronic to have an argument on here. It makes no sense to me what so ever. We come here to create discussions, get feedback from other members. Thats what its all about. Some people like to argue I guess. Yes, we all have difference in opinions, but that is the charm of MyLot. I love reading other view points.

I think everyone goes through this at some time but then again it has to do a lot with temperment if you get pulled into the situation.

I don't really have the time to care and start big arguments when someone refute my discussions or opinions. In the end life goes on and the person just waste their time trying to prove that they are right.
