How Do You Respond to Rude Responses to Comments

I also get upset over rude comments. There are some from certain people that are always blunt and sarcastic, either on my discussions or others. There is no excuse for that! I respond by: 1. Ignoring 2. Calling them out 3. Reporting Take a deep breath. Don't be like me!

If someone is rude on my post or in a comment on one of my responses, I just delete their comment and move on. I won't give them the satisfaction of the fight they so often seem to be looking for.

Sometimes I take something that seems to be rude but I try to be nice in what comment I make. I know there are a few people on here who never seem to say much in the way of being nice so I just kind of ignore them now. If they don't agree with me fine as I agree with me.

Yes, rudeness offends me but here I just leave the page.

I'm so sorry that someone has upset you Isabelle, perhaps they didn't mean to? However, if it happened to me I think my reaction would be the same as yours. Walk away and never interact with them again.

hmm, sometimes such's outta context 'n then some folks're jest that way. so unhappy with their own lives they strike out't whome'er they feel they can. 'n the other hand, could be how they speak'n general? tough call.. i got called'n the carpet myself recently respondin' to somebody's discussion. i was seekin' clarification (they'd contradictory discussions prior) 'n they took such poorly. i apologized fer rufflin' that persons feathers 'n shall avoid'em like the plague. then there's those who seem to thrive'n such dramatics :( jest breathe, my friend! heck, i e'en found myself blocked when i went to a discussion 'bout sunsets. aint gotta clue what i might done to offend 'em, but figure 'tis their loss. there's many here that dislike my redneck-ease with a southern drawl. i get 'ccused'f bein' stupid quite oft. 'gain, their loss :) big hugs!

Rudeness does upset me. I usually do just try to move on or vent about it just like you did. I try not to let it get to me but that is really tough since I am sensitive and emotional.

The difficulty here is communication. It would be nice if they'd ask a few simple questions before jumping to conclusions as it sounds like they must have done. Or, they didn't know their reply came across as rude to you. I've no idea and we can't give a true opinion since we didn't hear/read either one. It is difficult, though, when we run across this type of thing, especially when we're gracing their pages with our responses. You'd think they'd at least be thankful for that.

I'd leave it all up there, just as I used to leave SPAM comments up for awhile on Bubblews (I wouldn't immediately delete them from my posts). I think people should be shown for what they are--good or bad. I don't take insulting stuff personally. I remember the crazy lady from Bubblews who used to call people horrible names if they disagreed with her conspiracy theories. I had to resist the temptation to "mess" with her, and just let it go instead.

I have seen a bit here but not a lot. I too have removed comments when they were not appreciated and I haven't blocked anyone and probably won't. At best I look at it as a typo..they meant to be kind and opps they added an extra word that made it not so kind..Writing is so much harder to know what someone said and meant when you can't see their face. I try to ignore what might be insulting.

I am not one to let someone be needlessly rude and not respond somehow.

I don't think I've had a rude comment. I'm a bit sensitive I think and it would ruin my day as well. The worst I've had is a provocative comment inviting me to bite back over something I'd written but I just ignored it and pretended I was too thick to understand. I'm glad you're moving on. It's not worth the drama worrying about it.

I tend to just ignore them as to comment or do soemthing else could stir things up.

Kill them with your politeness and kindness is what I do... It's harmless and saves me the trouble too... LOL

It depends on the situation - I will either go forward or ignore. I never had to block anyone but I have been blocked.

@BelleStarr Whatever we may say rudeness does upset us and spoils our day. What you did was right.Now you can move on. There are so many considerate people who would like to interact with you.

Yes, the rude comments really turn me off. I tend to steer clear of anyone that offends me, I've had two members do this, for no good reason. I don't come on the site for drama or stress, and leaving a couple of members alone suits me just fine, like you, I won't block them either.

@BelleStarr,Three or four years back in old Mylot I had to face many rude comments.Those comments left me hurt,but I somehow managed to keep my cool although it was not so easy.I did not give in either and commented back politely.

It really does upset me and my first reaction is to respond in kind but then I have to stop myself as that would only make the situation worse. I would have done what you did, deleted my comment and moved on.

Deep breath, count to 10, and move on. What goes around comes around...
