Is MyLot a Friendly Place?

Tweet

My daughter noticed that I had returned to MyLot this week, so she asked me if I thought it was worth her while to come try out the site as well. One of her main concerns was this: will I meet people there who are inclusive and pleasant to talk to, or will the site be a place for drama, cliques, and backbiting? My answer was simple: In any community, you'll find one or two people who think they are better than everyone else. You'll find some who disagree with everyone whose beliefs are different from their own and who seek to insult or denigrate those people. You'll also find trolls and fundamentalists: people whose argument changes every time you ask a question or rebut something they've said. Generally, the only people who this type gets along with are those who share their opinions and those who play toady to them. But you ignore those people, and you enjoy all the good people who go out of their way to make everyone feel valued. I just wanted to make a point of saying I'm happy that most of my encounters with folks here at MyLot are positive ones. This site is filled with good folks who genuinely listen and consider one another's viewpoints respectfully. And those of you who fall into that category, I want you to know I appreciate you!
