I thought when I first got here that Maybe this was a place to air your frustrations! to speak your mind as we areall supposed to be able to do But NO! not without consequenses I see I started a disscussion which got alot of response yesterday and whilst I got many answers I also got dissed and rated badly by alot of people now who would thos hipocrites be? no will ever know they can hide and never have to be brave! As I have been brave and given my HONEST opinion of some people and things here and at least I can say I was honest and stood up for what I believe in!
Thanks for your comments!

I understand your sentiments but I don't understand why must a person give up honesty when confronted by dishonest people. I focused my mind on two things, participate in discussions the best way I could and in the process earn.
The only way I could participate meaningfully is by being honest. True, some people may have different agenda and modus operandi to work out their evil schemes but this is a risk we have to take. Unfortunately, the world does not move according to our expectations.
Cheers! Keep standing on what you believe is right.

Well, Welcome to MyLot lol That's how it is here unfortunately. I don't pay attention to my rating, it goes up and down. People use that little - button when they don't agree with you, or you don't tell them what they want to hear. That's what most people want, even though they sure won't admit to it. No opinions allowed here, unless it's the "right" opinion :) Just ignore it, not worth getting aggravated over.

Well, sometimes, we should realize that people in a certain group or groups have different ideas and unique concepts. In line with this, they are free to express what they feel and likes. So, I must be honest with you, i also had the same experience when i was just new here. But then, the best thing is, inspite of those that i had faced, i was able to manage. I still didnt get turned down as I dont wanna be. Stay as good as you are and never try to put your levels down.

i gave you a good rating yesterday. the discussion you started yesterday was a bit of a touchy subject and people will diss you. i don't think i was too harsh on you yesterday as i was also speaking my mind. sorry if you felt i dissed you if i was one of the people on your list.

it is an unfortunate thing,but mylot is pretty much like that.there are people from different parts of the world,and different type of people.you can't expect all of them to be nice to you.you just have to focuss on your work,if you start noticing these petty things there would be no time left for other things.leave it completely.there are a lot of people here,if somebody is not good to you,there others who would.

Although, I was a little taken back by your discussion posting, I rated you positive. I think sometimes people just feel like if they don't agree with what you have to say, then they rate you negative. Which isn't what the negative tool is for. I think people should agree to disagree and leave it at that. They shouldn't stoop so low and rate others negatively. If I "dissed" you that was not my intention, so forgive me if you felt that way.

sorry to hear about what you have experienced. don't be depress, we just have to accept that people were never have the same opinion. in that way we still be able to go on with what we're doing here. In my opinion we should never give a minus rating to anyone who responded to our post coz we are actually waiting for their opinions. Wether that is positive or negative then we should still be thankful coz they are interested in our discussion. so cheer up my dear... receive everyone's comment negative or positive take the most out of it have a good day!!!

I also find this site a place to put all our frustrations, experiences etc and share with people who wish to. But after coming across a discussion about stupidity, I'm quite dishearten to read that concerned person's comment. anyway, that's a little distraction. Don't take too much about the negative comments. Be whatever you are and I hope many will welcome your honest opinion too.

That has happened to me alot because I'm a person who usually speaks her mind. In those cases I just like "Am I say this because I want you to like me more or to please you? I think not so if you don't agree with it then don't read it or give constructive feedback not pout. Keep speaking your mind it shows your not a pretender or brown noser.

This has happened to me too! I can't believe that you can't voice you're honest opinon on something without getting negatively rated. I posted a discussion on the Iraq war and my rating dropped 2 points. I just knew it would. Apparently some people on mylot would rather be bored and have everyone agree with them, than have an interesting discussion. Just know that I am interested in your honest opinon flagbabygirl ;)

I symphatize with you.
I believe that everybody has the right with their own opinion. The rating button should be used wisely, not whether you disagree with the person or not. Mylot, as well as other forums, should be an avenue for healthy discussions. I start topics here in order to listen to other people's opinions. Even strangers can give good and sound advice.
I myself have not even used the rating button, nor even noticed if someone rated me at all (positive or negative).
Best way to deal with these people is to ignore them.

I understand your hurt and frustration and I am sory that you had to experience it. The truth of our time is that some people are misirable and don't allow others to have a say. Some people are selfish and only see things from their own perspective. My own opinion is that you must always be honost, no matter what the hipocrates say. Honosty is a strong character and you should always use it. The wheel in the sky keeps on turning.
