I am going to be taking a few days away from mylot. I am just getting to aggervated. I dont like myself very well when I get like this so I am going to back off till I can get myself in the right frame of mind again.
Too many people are copy and paste their comments. There are two people who comment on all my recipes with a copky and paste of a recipe. No other comment added to the copy and paste.
There are a few who comment on the title and dont even read the discussion. I know because I do not always choose my titles as a true representation of the discussion. I mean they have something in common but not the same.
I am finding myself gettting defensive and that is not my personality. I am not a complainer and I am very easy to get along with. Like I said, I do not like me when I get like this.
Thanks for being a wonderful group of frieds and my decision has nothing to do with any of the people who are on my friend list.
I will be back commenting and discussing as soon as I get my Spiritually back the way it should be. Have a wonderful night.

Sometimes we all need a break from this place. Lately I have been having a hard time finding fun in this anymore but my reasons are different. I knew something was up when I read your discussion about where you get your recipes from. I had a feeling that something was bothering you. I hope you come back soon. I really do enjoy your recipes and just tonight I was talking to my boyfriend about making stuffing in the crockpot. I can't wait to try that. You are a good friend and I will be waiting for your return.

We all get there, one way or another, and need to have a fresh perspective. I will look forward to seeing you around a little later. I think people who have nothing to add to a discussion, and nothing positive to say need to not just copy and paste. I know that you do not care if I do not respond, if I have nothing to add. I have enjoyed reading the stories and the recipes. I hope to get my act together and show up on gather, since I signed up. I am sure I will see you there.

I am sorry that you are having a difficult time right now. Take time out for yourself to do something good for yourself. Keep your head up and don't let others change your attitude and your outlook on your life. We will be here when you come back from your break. Take care of yourself and hope to see you back soon.

I know exactly what you are saying I find that I have to step away from different groups that I am in once in awhile just to rejuvenate and come back relaxed and refreshed.

I know how you are feeling Anne. I am also feeling little down about Mylot and has not been posting for few days, only I was reading discussions. Today I am feeling little better after taking the break. Hope you will feel better too after a break. Hope to see you soon here in Mylot. Good night.

Oh, I feel sad about this. I was just getting to know you....
I guess this is just such a darn competitive place...people want to get as many comments out as possible....it takes all the fun out of things :(
I hope you come back soon. There are lots of genuinely sincere people here!

I will certainly miss you during the few days that you will be away from myLot but certainly understand. It is ashame that people on here try and cheat and steal others information and comments. There are so many rude people out there that it can get all of us upset. hopefully people have been reporting those who have copied and pasted peoples topics and comments. Hopefully after a few days you will be back to your happy self and posting again.

i understand your frustration there are a few that I have come across that don't seem to be reading the whole discussion at hand and respond the the Topic heading which as you said is not always what the post is exactly asking...
I have noticed it alot it recipe posts not just yours just about all...
I hope you restore your inner spirit and return soon. Best wishes from Pinklilly:)

Though I have only read this discussion because it happens to be on the first 3 pages of mylot, I have to say that to get angry easily is what makes people down. Look on positive sides. Disregard the people who give negative comments or cut and paste. They apparently have got different motives for joining mylot. Its not important what ever they say or do. Whats important is you as a person, how you are going to use this forum to your benefit and what you are going to do. This forum is full of things to talk about, learn about and interact with people around the world.
Cheer up.

I thought it was impossible to copy and paste here! I like to carefully edit what I write before posting it, and I want to use the spell checker. I've tried to write some of my comments here in MS Word and then edit and spell check, then finally copy and paste my finished work here, error free. When I try, I get an error message telling me that only people with a rating over 500 can copy and paste in order to prevent spam. hat has to be well-nigh impossible since I've never seen anybody here rated highter than 10. It really annoys me because I like to edit my writing and spell check it! So where are all thosse people who copy and paste??? he recipe writers you mention probably actually type the whole thing out.

Well you enjoy your vacation and we'll be waiting to hear what you did while you were gone.
Enjoy the spring-like weather but remember there will probably be one more comment from Old mr. Winter.

I understand Villageanne.
I make it a point to go on Hiatus almost every other day. That plus the demands of my 4-year old little Boy. I have also Altered my profile to limit the Depth of the Conversations I have been having. I discovered last week , that some people not only copy everything a person might post , but they can also be Vicious.
I felt that it was my responsibility to " set the tone " of the Conversations
which I choose to receive responses from. It is unfortunate...but some people would like to use Mylot for their own personal agenda , rather than be happy that there is a forum such as Mylot , for them to express themselves. We await your return. Kindest regards....A.
