Why can't some members be nice???

Members here are suppose to be nice. As I have read in other posts, I have noticed people get upset over stupid stuff...when compared to what the world dishes out, this stuff is trivial.
Is there a limit on how many words are in a post? I did not read it in the rules, other than to not say things like "I don't know"...etc. I have done a lot of writing in my day, and sometimes saying less will get the point across more.
I like to use a lot of humor in my posts. It is a stress reliever for me. I have been told that I could be a stand-up comic. Using humor, does not demean the meaning of my posts. However, with that being said, I am cautious about using it here, because of the language barriers across the world. So I am easying my way into it.
Now...getting to my point. I just had someone use their words to indirectly insult me, because my post was lacking in vocabulary. That hurt... I have written many posts that had plenty of words.
I mean... I have gotten so many opinions in the short time I have been here, about my posts. There are those, who think I post too much of my dad's artwork. Then there are those who say my posts are too long, and professional; so I won't gain the attention of the readers here to start a conversation, because members don't want to take the time to read the material. Now I am being told they are too short.
I know I can't please everyone. My plans are to post some from all the above, that I just mentioned. There are so many personality types here, from all countries, so I want to have something for everyone to enjoy.
I like variety. I like creativity. This is my personality.
Why is it necessary to make someone feel like they're "less than"...just because they don't do a post the way you think they should? My answer to this is... If you don't like something, then don't leave a comment and/or like, and just move on. If you don't like artwork, then don't look at it. If you don't like quality posts, then don't read them. And if they are too short, it won't take you but a milla-second to brush it off.
Please... I enjoy responses, even if I don't agree with them. But when they personally attack me as an individual, and/or my writing style, even if you go the round-about way of doing it...then you've cross the line, and it becomes unnecessary. I would rather you go somewhere else, to dish out your insults.
Please... Why can't I just enjoy posting in a way that makes me happy? I am a very creative, and intelligent person; who has been through hell and back, over the last few years...and this is a way for me to relieve the stress, and bring back some pleasure in my life.
I hope you understand...

I've noticed some people are just blunt, and I bet they don't even know they sound mean. Most of us if we see something we don't like, we'll just skip it. I hope you don't experience any more meanness, you don't deserve it. Hugs.

As long as your following the rules here, write the way you want to. Some people just say it like it is and they don't mean anything by it, but once your here more you will figure out who they are and that their not trying to be rude or anything.
There are all sorts of people here but most of us are friendly. =)

Personal insults are not good. I would report anyone who did that to me. You can post just about anything you want here. But there are rules like any other site. Those one line posts are not worth the time. They are really against the rules. Don't tryout sell anything here with affiliate links. That is against the rules. Don't worry about your posts looking and feeling professional. That is you. They are not worth your time. We are not all airheads on MyLot. There are those of us that really care about the site. I have been going through your posts here and I see nothing wrong with them except a few of the one liners you posted. If you get hurt by someone here just block them. And report them.

They are not really one-liners. I have more than one sentence in them. However... One reason I do not my humor here, is because they are "actually" one-liners. Saying too much would ruin the humor, and effect of what I said...if more was said. So... I do very little humor here.
There was really one member that loved my humor, but she has not been around my posts in a good long while.

@teresatrotter You should make a compilation of your one line humor. Similar to my Stupid Things posts.

There is too short and there is too long. People do tend not to read too long (studies on the net have proven this one), but sometimes a post just needs to be long. I'd say do whatever you want! I just suggest shorter to medium and a hook to make it easy for people to comment. but again, no point anyone being rude over it!

I have this one person on here that keeps commenting on all my stuff and they aren't directly saying rude things but they are very passive aggressive when they comment and I am taking the comments as being really rude and judgmental. I don't know if that is the way they really mean it but from my end that is how it sounds and comes off as. I just try to ignore it and sometimes I will even delete the comments if they bother me too much. I am considering blocking them.
As for your problem just follow the rules and post what you want to. If they want to judge it and be rude about it just ignore them and don't post on their discussions. Try to just avoid them and if they keep on block them. I actually haven't noticed any of your post other than this one so you can't be posting too much. I actually don't believe there is such a thing as posting to much. Just do what makes you happy and forget the haters.
