They posted a discussion starting with 'What do you think ...' inviting you for your opinions or views as to whether you agree or disagree with a certain idea, event or whatever. You responded with your opinions and thoughts - and you received a comment telling you that they're tired with your views, or they don't agree with you, or they implied that you're nuts! What do you think of them? How would you respond back?

really,there are some people who are like that.but still we can't judge them dear.they may not mean what they've really said or maybe,they just don't know how to express what they want to say accordingly[nicely].hehehe,who knows,but i always give everyone the benefit of the doubt.but you know,if i got offended with her comment with my response..i'd reply back and elaborate more what i was trying to tell or imply.i would also reiterate that it was just my opinion and it was written not to offend anybody for a purpose.and if he/she don't appreciate nor agree with my response..it's her right and i will respect it.i will just hope that she'll do the same...hope you will not come across such kind of experience in the future [wink],..have a nice day mate..heaps!..="^_^"=

Hi, you do sound like a very nice person! I do get irritated when people ask for opinions, yet they have to slam your views, and impose their views on you! And I do detest rudeness! Thanks, and have a great day!

I think they are the ones who are not enjoying life here in myLot. I haven't actually encountered people like that. And hopefully I won't ever. It's the consequence of responding to members who are not in your friends' list. If ever I would experience that, I guess I wouldn't comment at all to his comment. I would just leave it. And if he is actually in my friends list, I will remove him from it. Have a nice day!

Hi Richiem, you've got a nice way of looking at it - these people are not enjoying life! Yup, it's best to ignore them and leave them in their miseries! Thanks for responding and have a great day!

To me everybody has the right to voice out their opinion, but I prefer to be polite and thinking about what others will feel if I say anything contrary to the topic, disagreeing on something or condemning about something. I think it is better that I post to discussion that will bring benefit to me, and discussions that will not start a heating debate. Honestly speaking, I hate debating because to me it will just spark anger into our hearts. What is this for? If possible, I will try to avoid giving harsh criticism, and if it is necessary I will try to do it in the best worded sentences. If people implied that I am nuts, of course I will get angry. I will never want to meet somebody who has this type of attitude in the real world. I don't think people like this can get along with people, and I think they will get more enemies than friends if they continue to be like that. If they want to say I am nuts, go ahead. I will not say anything back, because if I say back that means I am just the same as them! That's my principal, my friend.

They are nuts themselves who do not appreciate others opinions. I just do not want to respond to this kind of remarks less they rate me negatively which I think i have enough of these . Prolonging arguments like this will not serve any purpose and is a waste of time. Just forget about it and make sure you avoid their future posts. They are not broad minded people who are only confined to their own mistaken belief.

Dear Zandi, most of the time, I'd ignore them...but sometimes I just can't let them get off so easily. So I'd just reply with as much sarcasm as I can muster (but of course, very politely). Thanks, and have a good day!

I guess this is a clear example or plain rudeness here in mylot... everytime this sort of thing happens to me... i try not to stoop down to their level... but show them more coutesy... or sometime... i just don't comment back... since that action might fuel more argument... which i think is what they are looking for...

Yup, Aseretdd, I realise that there's some sort of these going around..some of our newbies have been talking about it. You're right - it won't do to stoop down to their level. I sometimes wonder if they are doing this to provoke an argument, and then the posts will go back-and-forth, and hence more money - will this earn money for them? Thanks, and have a great day!

Maybe they should have posted the discussion with the title 'I think that..... and will not accept any other opinion". Then we won't waste our time in thinking and posting our response! Thanks, Moonlit, and have a good day!

I'm not sure what I'd do. I guess it depends onhow much their reply got to me. They shouldn't ask for what I think if they really don't want to know. If you put it out there to ask what people think then accept what they say. If you wan them to agree with you then I don't know what to say...

I try to avoid the discussions that seek sympathy or patronage from the responses. In their eyes there is only one answer. When someone speaks against it then they attack. When I get someone being one sided I let them have their opinion. Depending on what was said would reflect the answer I would give. And I do not think much of people like that. Religion is one of the interests where you will find a lot of this. And they attack people who do not believe in the same things they do. The people who attack are nuts. These are discussions. This is the definition of discussion. An act or instance of discussing; consideration or examination by argument, comment, etc., esp. to explore solutions; informal debate. Some people are ignorant of this definition. Expect them to attack.

I think they should have not given any response at all if that's the only thing/words/lines they can say.If i get comments like that i'll leave it unrated--- maybe i'll try remembering that poster and never respond to his/her topics ever.For now maybe that's what i will do but definitely i'll never lower myself to that level.Have a nice day!

Yup, Misty..I'll remember that poster, and avoid his/her posts like the plague! It's nice knowing though, that there are myLotters like you,and others, who said that they'd never lower yourselves to their levels, and get involved in mud-slinging! This is really good! Thanks and have a good day!

well, i'm here for interesting discussions, making friends and making money. i've been fortunate that no one has slammed me in a discussion that i've started. in other discussions, if i see a slam, i avoid a response to them. if a friend of mine slams someone i would probably send them a message that i didn't agree with their method of response. i'm not here to change anyone's way of thinking. this isn't the format for that. we should (that's the operative word here) be adults and glory in people's differences. but no hate or rude responses !

I believe that all views should be respected whether we agree with them or not. I had many debates with people about controversial issues, like the existence of god for example. my debater kept insulting me because i dont believe in what he believes in. So the debate turned to be just like an insult machine, and lost any sense of art of discussing

Hi Hadeka, this would be a very exhausting activity! We are here at myLot to enjoy ourselves, share information and opinions, make friends - however not everyone is mature enough to respect others' feelings or beliefs. I'm sorry to hear that you had such a nasty experience! There's actually no point in continuing the discussion with this person you're talking about - maybe he enjoys provoking people and getting them upset! So forget him, and involve yourself in other happier discussions! Thanks for sharing, and have a good day!
