Do you feel offended by the response?

nope.. negative and positive responces are ones choice, its part of everyday life. has never bothered me here and never will. Take care....

I've been having a long conversation with one person for several days now. It's more of a debate really. I only wanted a simple conversation and they made it into a debate and then attacked atheists in the debate. I was frustrated, because it was a simple thing that he made complicated. I don't mind a little debate, in fact I welcome it, but I don't like when people get hostile.

good day asdomencil, as much as possible, i want to be calm in every words that i will going to say nor write. aside from that, i am trying my best to be patient in everything as this is the grace that i am praying from God. so i always make it a point to rephrase the words that i want to express so as not to hurt any feelings. on the other hand, i just respect others opinion nor idea whenever they do their response since everyone is entitle to his/her opinion. since we came from different origins.

I don't feel offended to any comments given to me , if for instance felt that bad , i won't say it in public and might as well say it privately. This is a discussion site , meaning one is free to share and say his opinion provided he follows the guidelines always. We came from all walks of life globally , having a difference of everything but still uniting . Unity in diversity !

Well it really depends. If people are rude I sometimes can be more rude. If they're just responding in a negative way I just let it. I know that I can be negative sometimes as well. But always with a reason and I also explain that. Sometimes the headline is already enough for me to avoid the topic because I know I could only respond in a negative way. Like today I saw a post asking if girls like fat or slim guys. D'OHHH. But like you, I try to avoid arguments or conflicts.

well, we are different people here from different places and cultures. we'll really have a lot of differences in our opinions. i expected it here. i guess we just don't have to be so sensitive about it. i've encountered this issue a lot of times. i can't convince other people to join my belief. arguments will really arouse from these issues. there are times when i just ignore them and let other people answer back. replying calmly is a great thing to do. and please don't say things that would offend the other party. never go down to their level.

While after you try to explain yourself further, and explain more details to your side of the argument, if the negative comment continue unabated, then may be you can just ignore him and let's him continue to blah, blah ,blah..... or you can go ballistic through the roof and got all heat up by him by scream out loud. The descision is your to make in Mylot. So far, i think you have reacted quite well and should continue to do so without losing your cool and calm. After all, you shouldn't expect everyone will give you positive comment in your responses to their discussion, few in here can be really rude in fact, just don't lose hope in your mylotting activity, continue posting and think positive, that is all you need here, majority of Mylotters are friendly and will appreciate your response.

When I was a newbie here and read negative comments to my response or any of my topic- I admit that I really feel bad and wanted to quit. But thanks to good mylotters especially the veterans- they helped me a lot to cope and how to deal with rude comments. Simple...report to admin- that's it.

It took me a while to get used to people not liking me or disagreeing with me. It took me over a year to "get" it and a new account here! Lol. But now I realize some people are rude, some like debating, some don't know how to say things, etc. It is up to me to behave the way I would want to be treated in return. I am pretty used to certain people here always giving me a hard time, it used to bother me so much but as I have been here longer I am not letting it get to me as much. I am really learning we are all entitled to our own opinions. And if they are rude to me about it that is their problem, not mine. Sometimes if someone is really too rude for my liking I just completely ignore their response like they are not even there. Some people I have learned behave in a certain way for attention-well I will not give them that satisfaction. It's a matter of choosing our battles. Either it is important enough to stand our ground or it isn't. Usually I have found it isn't really worth it. By debating most of the time neither will change their mind so is there really much point in it? Not in my opinion...

I haven't had any negative response on my discussions realy. If they are too offensive it can be reported and should be...
