This is MY truth of mylot

There is such a diverse group of people who come here to have fun and make a little bit of money. Even so, there are some people that I will just outright avoid. I don't use the block feature on these people, I just choose to ignore them completely. One of the persons I ignore seems to be a person a lot of people ignore.
No, I am not giving out names. No,this is in no way a complaint against any one member or any member at all. It's simply my observations and the way I go about things.
I choose to ignore the following types of people :
:: Those who are full of themselves and who seem to carry an air of superiority.
:: Those whom it is obvious is only here for the money. Their behaviors and actions reflect it.
Now, I will sometimes respond to discussions that seem to be nothing more than a recap of a news event. There are a couple of people who do that here, one such person makes all their discussions about it. That's their prerogative, I just don't find those type posts to be indicative of a discussion.
Political news excluded.
Anyway, That's just me. That's just how I mylot. That's just how I feel about the place.
I am the type of person who is more apt to get an attitude with the above type people so I choose to just ignore them altogether.
What about you? What type of people do you ignore or feel you wouldn't get along with?

I avoid the lecturers who are educating me. Sometimes people, especially from other countries, try to give me advice, and I cut them a little of slack. I use my discussions as a springboard to tell me who to respond to. If a person gets under my skin all the time, I will pass them up. I find that I never have enough time to visit all the people I want to, so why spend time on turn offs.

Actually, this is as you said an international forum. It takes a while to know others. Till then, it is pretty much dry conversation I feel, and it may feel like lecture at times. But I am fine with that because the person does need to open up. Pretty much like we do not become friends instantaneously most of the time. It takes a while to know common grounds.

I agree. I don't have enough time to respond to and converse with the people I want to here.
I have come across the people you are referring to, the one who want to give advice. The majority of them are doing so from the bottom of their heart while others are a bit more persistent and almost aggressive about it.
I've seen some users attacking others or going on the offensive too much. Nobody is perfect and I know I have my own faults (I've been known to go on the offensive) but I try to pass those type people by.

There are definitely certain people here at mylot that I enjoy interacting with more then others. I have blocked one person because she was so nasty to others. The posts I enjoy the most are the ones people write about their day. To me those are more genuine and interesting but I don't ignore any specifically unless they are religious posts.

I don't know if I've come across the person who is so nasty to others. I do remember one person here who I don't see very often. She always seemed to become accusatory or offensive but I didn't much blame her. I didn't really like that she did that so I ignored her posts. The reason why I didn't blame her is because she is mentally impaired. I don't know to what level but I assumed her behavior was because of that and she couldn't really help it.

I can be passionate about things at times. If I feel a certain way I will sometimes be quick to express the way I feel. I've "lashed" out here before and so now I just ignore the type of people I know I butt heads with.

I know I fit that category but it is the way I am and I can't be somebody else. So It is hard sometimes because I know I can make people want to ignore me. I don't know if I can improve the way I write stuff. I don't intentionally want people to get turned off. But it does happen more than I want to admit.

I don't ignore you, I just don't often find much to discuss with you. Sometimes I feel as if you are long winded, and I can be that way too, but I think that's why we get ignored or our discussions don't get responded to in the way we'd like.
For instance, I have to be careful with the way I title things. I wrote a discussion a few weeks ago about my uncle and father and how one was drunk driving. The title I wrote was something to do with drunk driving and everyone just responded to the title instead of the discussion. The discussion was actually a story that I had written.
It really bummed me out when I got responses like "Yes, drunk driving is bad."

@lookatdesktop I know that English as a first language speakers are a minority here but some of the people that respond in that way have a good grasp on the English langauge. They just do not care to read the discussions.

I don't mind someone using some news to inspire a post, but they need to actually SAY something about it for it to be interesting. I also don't really like talking about politics, as it tends to make some hard feelings.

Sometimes it gets difficult to keep up with each interaction. I have had to abandon an interaction because it was hard to keep up with. I do try to maintain conversation whenever possible though. I've been discussing with some people on discussions that I wrote months ago.

I do remember I enjoyed myLotting back then though.
There has been less annoying posts, but some posts I cannot relate to or they're too lengthily and I'm just not in the mood to read/comment.

The site has changed so much there is no wonder we forget.
Yes those lengthy posts are too much sometimes. I try to make my posts as short as possible or use italics and bold in some areas to sort of "liven" it up.

I have noticed that you haven't been on very often. I seem to have caught a "bug" about mylotting. I've been here nearly every day since the middle of June. I do have a purpose to make as much as I can here for next month.
I haven't seen a lot of the annoying or bad sort here lately. There used to be several more people like that here. You weren't here when the site originally started were you?

@ScribbledAdNauseum There's people who I've tried repeatedly to be friendly with, and they are just rude in return... I see them being friendly with other people, so I guess for whatever reason they just don't like me. And then some people are rude to everyone.
I have been trying to follow what's going on with this current administration as well, but I am not looking to get into arguments with anyone. Some people on here are just looking for a fight, and political discussions seem to attract those types. So I won't respond to them.

Those "get rich quick" ones tend to come out towards the evening hours. Atleast that's what I've observed. I don't see very many of those discussions anymore though.
I'm not too picky on topics either just more so on people I've clashed with in the past or whom I've seen openly being too obnoxious.

Choosing to avoid is the best option, as individuals we have what we align with in terms of friendship and belief this propels what we post and the type of post we relate to. Every individual is unique in it own way.
I don't avoid anyone, everyone is a masterpiece to me, some are the way they because it the only way the get to feel good inside. I avoid no post except it didn't interest me.

I try to stay away from political posts. It always leads to arguments and name calling and lots of negativity, especially when it comes to Trump. I don't think any other president got so much hate, was made fun of so much or ridiculed as much as him.
And I try to stay away from religious posts as well. Don't want people preaching their stuff on others and saying they are right and others are wrong... Especially when they talk about how to live our lives or that the way we live is wrong.
I never block people. I just ignore them if I don't like what they are posting or how they act, etc. Only reason for blocking someone would be if they verbally attack or belittle me. Hasn't happened so far and hopefully never will.
I don't like those that are here solely to make some money because their responses are generic or too short or meaningless, which does nothing for the discussion but fill empty space.

@lovebuglena I don't see that very often anymore. I mean the ones that say "thank you for responding." I don't even say "thank you" because everyone should know I am grateful they responded. Besides, I like to put my efforts more towards extending the conversation.
I've made some good acquaintances here by doing just that.

Yes, those who are here just for the money make such silly responses. I remember years ago when there were more people here like that and all you'd get was "Interesting discussion friend."
One member here would do nothing but copy and paste that into each discussion, I am sure they did not bother reading the discussion at all.
As for the political posts , I do tend to stay away but I will respond if it's more about a news article to do with politics. I also avoid discussions with people who think differently than me on the matters of politics. I am not a good conversationalist by any means, and I definitely buckle in conflict. It's just best to avoid that when it happens.
