Not having a choice to determine who can read what I write! Isn't it odd???

I was just thinking that he was needing a CC feature in the messages.

Yup, too easy for spammers.

yeah, similar to yahoogroups is what came to my mind, with a cc and bcc feature. i know of one family that has such a group, set to private, yet some stuff still leaked out to the worldwide web.

hi I agree as this sou nds really g rim as if only the elite can reply to so,me people I do not think my lot needs that at all.

Also, if there were this feature, not everyone will be treated equally as the earning possibilities are diminished if were not able to see all the discussions. Equality is a good feature in mylot where in everyone has the opportunity to maximize their earnings depending on how much time they are willing to spend on here.

yu are missing the above's point private messages means no other mylotter bgut you and the person heer y o contact can see your writing. You sound a bit paranoid to me. but whatever you are hiding from this him you cannot do it here so you need a place like facebgook with all it's many options. there no more contact with you ever.

I agree with you that if I need to post a matter that I want to share with some, I can message them directly. But what if I want to escape from some people seeing what I write or letting them know what views I have on some topic. With what I am telling you still will have option of letting others respond to your discussion or read it, it still will be your choice to allow or not to allow them. But you will have a choice which you do not have now.

Now I didn't want to take this talk to a racial level where someone wouldn't just allow to see his discussion because he is from some other country or some other religion or whatever. I would question you, haven't you faced a situation in life time when you felt awkward talking about something in front of someone? Did it happen because he was of different country or different race. Even if it happens, do you think this is the only reason for which one would hesitate to talk about something in front of someone. NO. There may be plenty of reasons. And one more thing. why do not you want such a feature? It will not take anything away from you. You are allowed to post your content in whichever manner you want to. And if it does not allow a particular discussion to get seen by you, it is only because that user does not want you to see it. If that feature is not there, you will see that discussion but the mentality of that user will remain same. He didn't want you to see his post earlier, he doesn't want you to see it even now. Having or not having a feature will not bring a change in his attitude. And it is not that you always will remain on the receiving end. This feature gives freedom to you as well.

I never brought up anything racial in my response to you and I certainly wasn't intending it to be taken to "a racial level." I said that myLot welcomes people from all over the world and that is the truth. Discussions can become much more interesting, informed and enlightened when impacted by open conversation across varying cultures, beliefs, customs, etc. In reply to your question, if I hesitate to discuss something for ANY reason, I don't post. It's really that simple. What you didn't address is my point that myLot is NOT just "any other website." There must be equality in people's access and ability to participate here because we can earn for what we type. So, when you ask me "why do not you want such a feature? It will not take anything away from you.", I am telling you that yes it WOULD take something away from me... it would take away my access to earn which is accorded to everyone here equally. myLot does not give us the right to any activities or actions that may impact others potential to earn -- i.e., we cannot delete posted content, we cannot edit posted content, etc. -- because all of these things would give us an aspect of control over the earnings of others and we are not entitled to that.

I am not making a point of not letting any random person read my post. I just want not to let some, yes some known people, who definitely are not my enemies, and are certainly not "blocked by me, as you all are terming it, forever. It is only for a particular topic that I feel a bit hesitant in bringing up in front of them. There may be several reasons for the same and it does not mean that this will hurt them every time. If I want to discuss something which, say my friend does not want me to discuss about and for my betterment(keep a note of that! for my betterment!), what should I do? How will I bring up in front of you people and seek your views on that? Am I wrong in wanting to post it? Are we being guesses as enemies for this action? He is doing it for my betterment, and my attempt of hiding is just not to let him know that I am discussing a particular topic with others. It does not takes any one's freedom.

I have read and reread your posts here. my problem is that this is a friendly c ommunity and nobody is wanting to stop anyonne from reading our posts here.we do not want nor need your blocking option. for one thing our earnings would dimmish a lot if all but a few people decide not to block out half of the population here because of any number of reasons. maybe you dislike Indians or Negroes or something else so you block all who appear to be in those categories. sorry I just do not agree with you and I think that if you really must have that option you need to go to a different type of site.I am responding since you responded but from now on you are not on my friends list nor dolI w ant you there so goodbye adios adieu.

Why is my advice compared to "block" on facebook? I hope you are reading all my above posts. My point only emphasizes the uncomfortability of the user. If he is not wanting some people on this globe to read what his views are on a certain topic, will you directly claim him his enemy? NO. Its may be just a result of his hesitation. It may be a result of his fear. Or could be anything for that matter. According to responses on this discussion, he is advised bot to write such a thing on myLot. Now is he not denied his freedom? Also his content, by default, is taken to be abusive as he only wishes his content not to get disclosed in front of some people. Now if he doesn't want his content to be displayed that way, certainly, from any sense of imagination , turns abusive. There may be several thousand reasons for the same. Also one more thing I would like to know form you, what is the issue, what is the problem if something like that is introduced?
