Hi Riyasam, I just don not understand why people resort to bad mouthing just that they do not get points to defend themselves or do not feel competent enough to go along. I have had some of those but if I am on the right footing I usually do not bend. And if see that it is useless to go bark I just ignore and take my round. so forget that stupidity of some people and go your way.

Well said Rajib! There are sadly those who get their kicks that way and if we ignore them they do no harm.

That happen to me once on another website and I was so upset that I didn't write for a few days. I'm too of sensitive nature. I wish sometimes that I wasn't like that. Now I've gotten a thicker skin and decided to just conside the source and ignore it. So thats what I usually do or if they didn't understand what I was saying and took it the wrong way I explain it better.

I think that I have told this before.Once when I started a topic on fat people a lady got upset and complained that I was trying to be personal and wanted to sever her friendship to my amazement.I just smiled and let it go.Then again a moron invited me to a street fight for responding in the politest way possible to one of his discussion.I still could not understand what went wrong with that guy.There could not be any rational explanation.I just ran away from that cuckoo too. So Ria this is a great place with wonderful people with some lunatics sprinkled in.You got to used to it and know to stick with the right people.Forget it cheer up.

I am sorry Mabel. It hurts but this is an open place and anyone and everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. If its rude, derogatory and offensive I think you must report him/her. Otherwise let go, move on. Try to take it easy, eat some choc'lates, play with your kids and come back recharged. Love and hugs..

I've seen the comments that you are referring to I think and all I can say is that the best revenge is to not let something like that bother you at all. People jumped to conclusions without knowing all the factors and so be it! For every one negative comment, there are a thousand positive ones, so ignore it, move on and leave it at that I say. Anyways, you ended up with today's top rated discussion because of it. There's that silver lining as per usual! lol.

hi yeah any person will be upset when some one bad mouths you, esp to the reply that you sent to one of the discussions-in such case u will wonder why u replied to the discussion at first place.usually if some does send me such replies-i will hit back,and if it was really offensive and of real bad taste-i will probably report it to the moderators.i had this one such guy who had literally abused me on one of the discussions that i had started on religion-i reported and he was banned frm the discussion.

go to the bottom of the page, on the last line, 5th tab in is "contact" and do it there, be sure to let them know exactly what discussion and what response is the problem.

Hello there. I'm sorry that you are upset about something here through one of the discussions. I'm not siding with anyone or anything but talking about being depressed over a comment or stuff, I think you should take a moment to get upset and then move on to turn the negative experience into a more positive one for you. I do that all the time whenever I feel so down. Don't worry, you know yourself better and if you aren't what people said about you, then you aren't. Opinions do not matter; people can say what they want but at the end of the day, it's you who make you. Something like that.

The best thing to do is to report that person to mylot administration so that his bad post will be deleted. For the meantime, I suggest you don't let him ruin your whole day. He is not worth it.

i never had really experienced being bad mouthed here. but i have had some replies to my comments that have in a way gotten in to me. when that happened, i just first let it pass, then when i have cooled down, i would go back to that particular comment and make a response to it, in a rational way. if i make a response while i am still upset i'd probably be saying something that i would regret later on, so i try to cool down first before making another response.

Unfortunately, there are cowards around who use the internet to upset people because they haven't got the guts to say these things face to face. You just found one. As you've made so many posts without problems, or at least without feeling that you don't want to post, I'd say that you are happy with your responses, and, more importantly, so are the majority of other members. Don't let this jerk spoil your day, because then he has won; even if he doesn't know it, you have let him interfere with your routine. Report him or her now, because this person may be causing people to leave Mylot. If he's allowed to continue, the reputation of Mylot and its members will suffer. I don't look back on yesterday's discussions, unless I get a comment and I need to respond to it. There are so many new ones coming up, it seems a shame to spend time going over old ones unless you really have to. Good topic.

The users here at mylot are generally very friendly. It is a shame that something like this has happened. I would just like to tell you that some rotten apples are present everyone. Just ignore them and do not bother about them at all. Do not respond to that user's discussions henceforth. If he keeps on badmouthing maybe on your discussions than let the other users as well and i am sure all of us will not reply on that member's discussion as well. Meanwhile i feel you should continue using mylot as i know most of the users are friendly and enjoy their time here just as you and i do.

I can definitely understand how you feel. I used to offended when people would say little things to me. But now, I've learned to either ignore rude comments or quickly come up with something worse. I know its not the best thing to do, but I've gained a mentality where I want the person to feel how they made me feel, or worse. Because of this, I've learned to be able to take mean comments in stride and keep going. Don't let one person's rudeness keep you from doing something you enjoy because I'm pretty sure there are thousands of other people who enjoy reading your work.
