Question: 'Do you have a minute to spare?'

If I am going to answer this question, I do spare a minute reading your epistles here. Although I only do this when teaching online or doing other things with my desktop. By the way, I do not read any discussions of those people who blocked me. Regardless, I try my best to read any topics written here. Are you that choosy in reading things written here?

I am not choosy at all. I go through the more recent discussions. If I find that one is not interesting, I skip.

I also do the same thing. However, I cannot skim that much if the discussions are long. The reason is that I cannot stay longer with them because I am teaching online.

@Shavkat There are some long discussions that are interesting, more interesting than the two liners.

@MALUSE Not all discussions are interesting. I like some but there is nothing to say, so I skip commenting.

No I am not choosy. I start with most recent discussions and keep on reading and responding as much as I can. Sorry that few mylotters have blocked. It might be accidental or due to the bug.

Before I go to this section, I need to attend with my notifications. Do not be worried about those who blocked me. I do not mind at all.

There are... a few... people here I totally ignore. I'm pretty sure I've never read anything you've posted on myLot. I usually ignore newbies after greeting them when they first show up until they become somewhat established and seem to be staying for a while. *shrug* I don't see a reason to invest time and interest in someone who might vanish as quickly as they appeared.

@MALUSE A lot of people say they love it here shortly after arriving and then disappear. It's frustrating to start getting to know them only to have them gone not long afterwards.

Do you have a lot of people who blocked you? I know of at least one person who blocked me. You know it's their loss, right? I have time to spare for the site too. I enjoy reading about everyone's lives.

As far as I could remember, three of them are. It is their loss for blocking me. I am sorry that this person blocked you. I considered them cowards for doing this.

@shavkat Well, to be frank, I am quite choosy about what I read. However, I also do try to look up to who has read my post. So, I can do him/her the same favor.

I like your last statement. I also consider the same thing. I am not that choosy but I really cannot squander my time with long discussions. It is not that I do not like them. It is because my time is being constrained secondary to my online teaching.

I am glad that you are doing it. I can say that you are still a newbie and hopefully, you won't disappear without a trace here. It happens to some who had been active for a while and stopped being here.
