@Happy2beme Yeah, I don't think anything was wrong with her discussion at all. Many have done similar and there's never been an issue with it. =( I feel the same way, she's a sweetheart and I really enjoyed having her here! She is still here but she deleted her discussions now.

Some people think they are the boss of the site. They ignore their own inane discussions to judge the posts of others. Their life is so boring they troll the site looking for perceived violations. Last I knew you could talk about food ideas as long as it wasn't just a recipe. And even if it was a violation it shouldn't be met with hostility.

@AmbiePam Yeah, I thought talking about food is fine as long as you don't just put a recipe up. Which she didn't do so it makes no sense to me.

Jenn your rants are just too cute to call rants. You really do care for people, and you're voicing your thoughts on this, and that is sweet, we are blessed to have someone as caring as you with us. I know how that person feels, I received a comment from someone that I thought curt and uncalled for and deleted most of my discussions and stayed off of the site for a while-which you know, but have since returned. I cannot bring myself to post again, I am too afraid of another rude remark. We have to be so careful of what we say and how we say it, with it just being written, there is no spoken softness that may be intended.

@Juliaacv Well thank you. I do care so much and it upsets me when someone isn't treated right. I do remember that you were treated badly as well and that bothers me too. You should post again because you have so many people here that truly care about what you have to say. =)

@Patzanthony I agree! She posted a discussion asking about new ways to make chicken since her and her daughter were tired of eating it the same way. Other people have done the same here and it's never been an issue so I don't understand it at all.

@LadyDuck Yeah it wasn't a recipe for a discussion that's what gets me. She didn't just post a recipe at all actually. She was asking about new ideas she could use for her and her daughter to eat since they always eat chicken the same way. There was nothing wrong with her discussion at all which is what gets me...

Yes, it does help at time. I can remember several discussions on this subject. I feel so badly that something was sad that hurt her so badly. I don't know any of us that would say anything to hurt another person on here. Not intentionally. Kidding perhaps.

We can't really control how people reacts in here. Mylot is consists of diverse people and the meaning of being NICE or being RUDE can be very subjective. And I'm not blaming you either for reacting this way. It is your right. I too get hurt sometimes by how rude people can be here and when you tell them about that they just blocked you. It got into me for awhile but I don't see it as a reason to leave my lot. I guess mylot isn't for the faint hearted at all.

So if someone used the phrase 'recipe for success/disaster' in a discussion they could, in theory, get reported? Ridiculous. Some things on here obviously need reporting quickly (spam, blatant selling, etc) and the quality of a site does need to be protected, but I do sometimes see what appears to bef self-righteous overreaction, not to mention inconsistency in terms of what stays up and what doesn't.

@asfarasiknow I guess so, I have never seen it happen before now. She said someone messaged her in a hateful manner about her discussion.

I just feel bad because I honestly don't think there was anything wrong with what she wrote at all.

That should not have been a problem, the word recipe, that is. Being mean and hateful to others IS a problem and admin usually does not tolerate that if they observe it. Early on I asked Alex about including recipes in discussions, and basically, if the post is not just a list of ingredients and instructions, it was not a violation. So I could tell you "this is what we eat on cold wintery nights and we make it THIS way. I like it because . . . " I am so sorry someone was hurt over this.

@GardenGerty Yeah she didn't do anything wrong at all. They just don't want a recipe and nothing else. That's not even close to what her discussion was. She asked for other ways to prepare chicken for her and her daughter. I have no idea why anyone would be mean to her about it.

that's absolutely true, recipes are fine as long as they form a part of a larger topic rather than purely a recipe.

Oh man I am so sad to read this as well. Most of us here are kind but there have been times I have been hurt by other mylotters in the past. I would miss you if you left and I would love if you could send me a private message who deleted all their posts. If I know them and interact with them I would like to encourage them to stay here and ignore people who upset them or report them depending!

I went and looked and see she has no posts and no picture and her username is just user. I do not recognize the name. A lot of times I only recall people by their photos.
