Are there certain My Lot members that you try to avoid?

Do you find that some My Lot members are so nasty or argumentative that you go out of your way to avoid their discussions competely? Or, when you see that they've participated in another member's discussions, do you keep going out of fear that the nasty person will say something mean or rude to you?

Yes there are a few that I will stay clear of. I will not name names, but they are people who will insult others and are down right rude to people who don't feel the same way they do. Some of these people have actually left comments to me regarding what I posted. I just ignore them.

That's the best remedy! Treat them like a child, and walk away when they throw their little tantrum. Always works!

There is a small group of people on my friends list and outside my friends list that I don't bother responding to. I've seen them being mean or rude to others and these people have apologized but it seems that it's not enough and they keep being mean or rude to them. If I see their posts and agree with them, I won't respond, just so others don't think I'm on their side. I'll stay clear and leave them alone, I have enough friends to respond to anyway.

A few of them I have to agree with you on. I have gotten into it a time or to for making a comment or not saying the right thing to their disscussion.

Answer to the first question: YES!!!!!!!!!! I don't care how interesting the subject matter is. If there are certain people watching and participating in it, I will walk away in a heart beat. Answer to second question: I will keep on going but not out of fear. I think the emotion I am searching for is........hate, anger. So rather than lose myself and drop to their level, I walk away. There are way too many interesting subjects to be forced to respond to something that might be a conflict later on.

Yeah, me too! I'm always worried that if the meanies say something to me, then I'll have to get in an argument with them. And, most of those discussions end up getting deleted anyway. I'm not an aggressive person and I hate to argue. It makes me feel very sick. So, I try to avoid confrontational people.

I am glad to say that I haven't met such a bad one here. On the contrary, I found many people are nice here. This is why I enjoy posting in Mylot. I can share my views in a friendly environment. The different opinions can be appreciated, too.

Most certainly! I find that the good members far outweight the rude ones. Besides the rude ones don't stay here long or get deleted very quickly. That's good for the rest of us.

I've never had anyone say anything nasty or rude, but there is one that I think writes some pretty weird stuff. I responded to one of his comments and got a weird comment back. I think I'll avoid that one.

I agree that there are some members here who are extremely nasty and rude. They go out of their way to cause trouble, and I don't want to participate in any of their discussions. I am not afraid of them, and although I wouldn't go out of my way to provoke them, I won't necessarily avoid responding to another discussion because of them either. I guess it depends on whether I knew it would cause more problems or not. I try not to step into an already heated argument. I think that if their comments get out of hand that they should be reported to myLot for abuse.

Yes, but not because they have ever been mean or nasty to me. I am just naturally repelled by people who are curt and off-putting by nature. I don't come here to argue with people or to read about someone getting annoyed by others. I could receive that kind of treatment with one simple phone call. I choose not to.
