“Some myLotters CHOOSE People Whom to RESPOND: Are You One of Them?”

It seems the old issue keeps turning upside down for some mylotters who only choose to respond in his or her posted discussions. Personally, I don’t mind at all. The concern is like having a racial discrimination and most of you can feel this. I had experienced this scenario for a couple of times. As I have said, I don’t mind at all. As long as, it is not a below the belt attacks and questioning my credibility. Personally, I do respond to all the comments who had given by our fellow myLotters. It is my way of showing gratefulness that he or she had read my posted discussions. Some members claimed it is so annoying. “Is it an alibi to cover up something?” I am just speaking up my personal opinion. “How about you, guys?” “Do you tend not to comment on such reason?” Image Credit: Shavkat

I think not commenting at all is better than commenting stupid things for the sake of commenting.

It is a sign of mediocrity to respond to irrelevant comments. I do agree on that.

I have realized that too, because there are times when the comment is very hard to decipher.

I think that if we would try to answer to every discussion there would not be enough time. Since we can only be here a bit each day than I choose and pick here and there. However, I eventually respond to every comment on my discussions and try to respond on one of their discussions. Some people post like 30 discussions a day. I can't keep up.

@Shavkat So, it is better to do what we can and enjoy it. Sitting all day in front of the computer is not good for us.

@1hopefulman I do agree with you. It is not good to spend a lot of time in front of a computer. It should be balanced.

I must admit that I was that person who posts a lot of discussions before. Since I don't have enough time to do it. Moreover, I tried to reply if the members had their comments in my discussions.

@Sreekala I also do have the same situations. Sometimes I checked my previous discussions, especially if the notifications were being deleted. Mylot usually deleted them on a weekly basis. At that time, I am in absence for more than a week.

I agree with that. Some mylotters respond such common phrases. I tend to understand their way of responding and they need to be sensitive enough that it should be relevant to a posted discussion.

I respond to the comments on posts and it has nothing to do with discrimination toward anyone. If I read a comment and it doesn't need a comment because there really isn't anything to comment on, then I don't but has nothing else to do with it.

I hope racial discrimination is not an issue. In real-life situations, it does still exist. I do agree with you that it doesn't need to respond to spam comments.

I do not think they are just targeting their own. They are targeting their activity, some people post more discussions, some people respond to more discussions, some people comment more.. some people focus on their friends as their friends and them agree to be on at the same time participating with each other.. some people are just really drawn to some...

I do think that they are entitled to do so. I doesn't matter if it is based on their personality. I do respect that and things cannot be controlled. They have their own preferences and we just need to broaden our mind about it.

If any one do not bother to reply my responses then surely I won't participate that person's topics any more. My time is also valuable even though I am much broadminded. Those are choosy, it is their problems and they are losers.

I think it is our choice to choose which discussions are appealing. On the other hand, if the members commented in my discussions, I tried my best to respond back as much as possible.

I know some members here don't like to interact with me because of the way how they respond to my comments and opinion. And I can only name a few who are very interactive when it comes to conversing. And yes, they are annoying and believe in the saying "We cannot please anyone here."

I respond to every discussion I can relate and present my personal perspective to. Having said that, those who respond to a select group of users may have the same reason for doing it, it gives you a sense of dependability and comfort, something you can look forward to like watching a favorite show by the end of the day's toil, rather than watching new, stimulating stuff full of uncertain moments. Yet, if it is emanating from prejudice, you are right to call it out.

You have a point, my friend. I find it disrespected when a mylotter ignored my comment. I am not that sensitive but I am an observant. If they continue to do so, I will stop reading or be commenting their discussions.

If the person made and effort, I will give them a proper response. If they will just praise me and say "nice post" or comment something irrelevant, not only I will ignore them, I might even delete their comment. Back to the topic, I do participate in discussions but I wont participate in the discussion of a person who is notorious on ignoring responders. I remember making an effort and pouring my heart to a response because I am into the topic but the topic creator rather reply on spammers.

In all honesty, I do not mind those people and I do not give my time to those kind of people. Just to remove stress. Let them be. I am not saying that I like what they are doing but those kind of people have no sense of camaraderie and wasting time on those people is rubbish. That is their choice and for us, at least decency and courtesy run in our system.
