Do you respond in a vague one liners to please your friends

No, never, we should strait forward. If we could not understand a vague response then we should tell it to the responder that I was not able to understand your respose. In such case I could not understand that why we should pay the thank? I think it requires no need to do so.It is exrra ordinary step to pay unnecessary thanks which is called flattery, is not good.

I think this happens because today most of our communication is done through emails.It is basic manners to acknowledge an email recd at your end. Maybe this is the reason that many people just write one liner as an acknowledgment.I am not saying that that this is correct (to do so in this forum)but maybe they have become conditioned to acknowledge to any communication received and do so automatically due to be trained like that. But definitely one should be careful on such forums as such responses waste other peoples time.

I can't remember the time I actually did that. If one of my friends start a discussion which I fail to understand I ask him to elaborate and then i do respond to him. Generally, Bala, I avoid drab one liners like, what is your name? what is your favorite color? and queries like that. However, one liners like, 'If blue is your favorite color then why do you hate being blue?', 'Why fat is funny?' - are tempting and make me very intrigued. I just can't wait to answer to them. Bala, here I must tell you that I just love responding to all your posts. They are simple, intelligent, varied , intriguing and special. Thank you.

I often skip those short things. I guess people could get upset with me for it, but I only have so much online time, and I'm not going to waste it on someone who didn't bother to give me a proper response. I do, however, respond to short responses that were obviously meant to be sarcastic and silly, made by my close friends especially. That is, I respond when I'm not busy chasing bears around.

Most of the time, I do not try to write one-liners, specially to my dear friends' discussions. Either I do not respond at all (if I cannot write something substantially) or I try to answer with some logical thoughts to the discussion. I also do not like to receive or read one liners (as you have mentioned) to my own discussions but I think, I cannot help.

No. it is better to be open to friends,rather than responding in such lifeless way. I will seek clarification and inform my opinion. If I am unable to understand the subject, I will not hesitate to inform my ignorance.

My answers are not normally one line answers and i love saying my point in detail but if a one line answer is just enough to convey the message which i want to give then i dont mind going for that too.

I never do that. If there's nothing I can comment on, I just do not post. If I think a post is a good one but I have nothing much to say on it, I just give a '+' to the discussion.

i do not answer to such one liners that makes no sense. Also i do not like one liners as discussion or response here at all. I think some people start those to earn money only.

Sometimes I respond like that. Just to let the person know that I did read and appreciate their responses. But, most of the time I have more to say. Rarely, I will just give a plus and go on.

Just for the sake of pleasing someone i never write thanks and good but certainly when i like to praise their wonderful response i write..thanks , very good, etc., etc.,and include my views along with this, if i have any..

No, I try to explain to them why I agree or disagree. I have to say that most of my lot friends have a great deal in common with me ,but there has been times when I disagree with their discussions and I let them know in a polite way.

So far none from those listed words and I always response in request to further explain about part which I did not understand. And the worse feedback that I was getting form them they have lost their moral of language by replying their comment like these words; "next time if you don't understand, better don't make response". If your were in my shoes, how would you tackle this type of reprimand?. The worse part is they are our friends in 'my friends' list. Should I continue with harmony relationship or just ignore? or else? Sometime this kind of situation really confusing!!!

Depends how close of a friend they are. I mean if I have known them for years and they say something I completely don't understand, I have to problems telling them to explain or saying that I don't agree with them. Now if I barely know the person and I am just trying to be polite by agreeing with what they're saying, i'll tend to just say something to make them move onto something else. Like if someone asks how their shirt looks i'll say something like "Nice I like it.. so what are you doing tonight?" It seems like a polite way to respond, but also a way to get them moving onto something else.

IF you are talking about commenting back to the responses I've gotten, yes but rarely, because I feel guilty if I dont respond back to them, especially if they are my friends. But then again I cannot keep commenting back to each and every one of them, so I sometimes dont respond to the ones that I don't understand, but I try to make sure that the really good sensible responses, are all responded and thanked.
