I don't.
It's a bad thing to shame people, especially in public. Or even here. If you feel like you need to because you don't like their idea then tell them in private. It will not make you any different or will gain you something.
If you think their discussion is absurd then don't get involve yourself and move to another discussion you find interesting. We are here to have fun at the same time.
If you think their grammar is incorrect then no need to tell them their wrong. Just move on to another discussion.
No offense meant.
Have a good day Mylotters.

Woah. That is rude for me even if it's a joke. Unless if it's not with an event like that.
It happens to me as well. One of my Aunt told me in front of her guest how lousy I am serving them.
I was about to cry that time and I just let it pass.
And when I age, I told her not to shame me in public anymore because I am old enough and it's not good especially my blood is your blood.

I think some people are naturally very direct and blunt so they probably think it's nothing to be sensitive about. But we can always voice out criticisms and disagreements without shaming others or putting them down.

Nope, I don't like to shame people, nor do I like conflict. I'm here to have fun and earn - not engage in drama. If there's something I don't agree with, I'd either say so in a respectful manner or just move along. And I agree about handling it in private.

Well said! This being an international community, grammar also is to be treated with due respect. I can't speak or write any other language than English well enough to be understood. I'm so impressed with all the myLotters who write so well.

I think there's a line between shaming or bullying others and being honest. Sometimes when I'm being honest, people take it negatively and they get offended.
I have never corrected anybody here regarding their grammar though I see a lot of mistakes but when the construction is incomprehensible I do ask what the writer meant exactly.

@JustBhem Like I said there's a line between shaming and being honest. So obviously they're not the same. However, some people don't know how to draw the line and they take honesty as bullying. These people who take it into heart and who can't take criticisms despite being constructive are the insecure ones.

I see it makes sense now. And you are right. Those people who cannot accept honesty are those insecure ones.

I remember I used a wrong word once and I received silly comments to take joke of me and not only by English speaking members. I do not care, but they should show that they can speak another language as their own before taking joke of the others.

It's easier said than done. As lots of us have strong opinions on certain things. For instance, I feel strongly about kids, animals, and relationships. So if someone posts something absolutely craxy about those, I'll more than likely say something on the post.
Just like some do about health, "god", etc.
