Oh, I got a hot debate with someone!

Can you share it with us? What is that hot debate all about? :-) You can never please everyone here, just remember to be strong and flexible enough to read and answer discussions.

We are here for a discussion not for a debate but if we talk about words below the belt it another thing that we should clarify it with the person who called you the words. We should consider the feelings of others before posting it here. Sorry to hear that my friend

Just wondering what do you mean by hot debate lol .. It sounds like you had very hot date with someone here lol

We cannot tell when there will be disconnect in people's opinions. I would say that we have different personalities, and beliefs and cultures, we are here to share them in our responses and discussions. It is uncommon that one would go down that route and actually fight with someone over a discussion that started out with a good idea or that only intention was to have a a better relationship between members by getting to know each other. Maybe there are just some people who are not very open to what they think, they are closed to their own ideas and they are just not ready to accept other's ideas or accept that others can be better in ideas or thoughts or more knowledgeable. You can just disregard those people comments that offends you and just try not to support those people who are not even able to keep their foul words in check. I would be offended myself when i have received such words that are below the belt when all i did was to defend my discussion or my point.

True! But sometimes, that happens. Just don't respond if the member starts throwing words at you. Just spare yourself from being tormented with it.

Let me guess, it was either in religion or politics topics, right? If you choose to get involved in those topics, you should always be prepared for some 'hot debate'. Those who are regulars there are very passionate about their stands and they will deliver their point of view in words that may seem 'harsh' to others.

I try to stay away from discussions that I know would start a heated debate with someone. I have read some responses to my discussions where I am sure a problem would start if I even gave them the satisfaction of telling my side of the story. I'm also very sensitive when people say certain things so I just steer clear of them. I have a right to my opinion and so does everyone else but I'm not on mylot to argue! We have to start being a little more 'thick skinned' and not let the written word bother us.

There are a lot of disicussion and people I try to stay away from because I know they could end up being problems. Some people are just plain rude and I think they forget where they are.

justr ignore those people....and dont get affected with what they have said.some people are just like that.

Words do really hurt at times. Let's just be patient to whom it comes from either solicited or unsolicited. There are just people who are dealt to be like that, let's just be thankful that we are not such of kind but we must be keen enough not to be like them.

That is funny just by saying so you got involved in the brawl or debate and at last how did it pan out did it end and i know you will never hurt anyone

Here, I always try to keep away from hot debates and not letting myself to be emotional or hot tempered during discussions. Actually we have a lot of personal problems in life to be emotional or peaceless. We are to enjoy friendliness and pleasantness through discussions and messages here. Haven't you got my MyLot message related to Bubblews. Anything wrong with your e-mail id? It isn't accepted for sending message, when I tried. Just verify it.

That ok. Sometime we give a harsh words because we to much angry when someone give a responses which is try to provoke, offend or sarcasm. I think i also sensitive. Sometime i feel i should not angry when some people want to make some joke but i they should know to do it in a right time and not offend other. For me i try my best to not hurt anyone feeling here.

There are just certain subjects, I don't get into and the is religion because everybody have their views,and you are not going to change, people minds about anything ,so it best not to talk about it.

When someone is rude to me here I do report it like Hatley said as well. Some people can get pretty nasty sometimes when they believe their response is the only right one! I stay away from really heated debates because I do not like getting flustered. It's just not worth it to me.

You can't discuss well if you are not ready to hurt someone. As a part of discussion, there's disagreement. And as a result of disagreement, someone might get hurt/insulted with your opinion. Just make sure you don't use curse words, I guess. And also, strong disagreement isn't really advised to be given to myLot community. No matter how good the argument is, if you strongly disagree with someone, or if your opinion is against the mainstream, you may see you rating drop dramatically..
