When your responses are not commented on

yeah,i also feel the same way sometimes.i don't get it when people start new discussions then when they get responses they don't even pay attention to comment on those responses they gained. well, sometimes there were really people who are like that. it's our own freedom to choose whoever and whatever we want to comment on. life's like that! i guess you don't have to get mad on them.some of them i think were busy on offline life. or they just don't feel like commenting on others. we are all here to earn money right? and just post whatever you think would help to others also not just the one who started that discussion. as well as other's posted, we can all learn from other people here,so don't be peeved for nothing comments you got.there are lots of discussions out there to make yourself turn into,it's up to you if you still like to respond on those users future discussions.

Yeah, I do get miffed a little bit. But then, that is their choice, not commenting back on the responses they get, that is. I don't really plan on boycotting anyone. I just respond to the discussions that I think I can contribute to or ones that I can just have fun.

There are times when I simply post my opinion on something - just one opinion amongst many others. If others (or the discussion owner) choose to comment, then it shows that someone, at least, read what I wrote but it doesn't matter too much to me if nobody comments. At other times, however, when I feel that I have done some research, given some valuable information or salutary advice, it does bother me slightly when the person who asked the question seems to have completely ignored all the responses. It feels as if one were talking to thin air! Well, that is their choice, I suppose and if only thanks were due, the Guidelines do tell us not to comment with merely "Thanks for responding." What really gets my goat, though, is when I have to point out that someone is misusing MyLot and that person has clearly not read my warning (or at least has ignored it) and persists in doing the same thing again and again. I have to say that I don't always comment on everyone's responses in my own discussions. It isn't because I am ignoring or not reading the responses. Usually it is because I have already commented on a similar opinion/statement.

I don't worry about it. I come here and comment on discussions I'm interested in and TRY to respond to everyone who comments on my discussions but don't always have the time to respond to everyone. I'm a pretty busy person in real life and anyone who knows me understands that. Life is too short to get upset at little things like this. Well, I consider it a little thing. I've been to hell and back many times in my life so something like someone not responding to my comment is nothing to me. I have more important things to do than to try to remember who does or does not respond to my comments. I find discussions I'm interested in and post what I have to say. If that is responded to, great. If not, it's okay by me. (We get paid for what WE type here and not for the comments we get under our comments anyway, right?) I do notice if someone who has become a friend to me here is not commenting only because I worry about them. If I check and see that they've been commenting elsewhere, just not to my discussions, I'm okay with that. Just to know they're okay is good enough for me. One of my mottos in life is "Don't sweat the small stuff." That's very true, you know. Of course, if you do not wish to comment to anyone who does not comment to your comments, that's up to you. It wouldn't make me like you any more or less. It's your choice and that's fine by me.

well..there are also some of my responses are not commented but i do think it's ok..i mean sometimes i also forget to comment on others responses because of certain things..kinda busy at times..

I don't mind if the discussion starter doesn't comment back on the response. But if someone responds back then it makes me happy as I get to know that my response has been read by someone. Sometimes it happens that the discussion starter doesn't get time to respond back and I have sometimes felt the shortage of time. And during deciding to respond or not, I usually look for interesting discussions. If I find one I just respond and if not then I just ignore.

There are a few people I know who do not respond to anything. Sometimes I'll answer anyways if the discussion is something interesting and I can add to it. I don't usually make it a habit of answering their discussions though, and will end up passing them up. I like when I get responses because it's much more fun and enjoyable. And, you can actually really learn alot from people and their situations, it's interesting. I have deleted some people over time when there is just no reaction to discussions. Too boring for me.

I would only get peeved if I was in a discussion and my questions were ignored or unanswered. No need to get peeved otherwise for just not receiving responses to a posting. I don't do revenge as you suggest. I just respond to whatever interests me. Revenge is a total waste of time and energy. Positive energy is much better.

I did not feel offended when it happened several times in the past. Some may have at least one valid reason for not doing it, like unable to post a suitable comment other than a thank you. Most probably by this time you may have recognised those who do not always comment back due to various reasons, and those who have an attitude. I have met several from the second group. I still read their discussions but have decided not to make any response. I may lose at least 1cent, but I am here for the interaction, not to feed somebody elses ego.

Hi all knowing:: I think that your idea is not good at all. Even if I would like that people feel interest on my responses, it's probably that some people have read them and I should not expect any reaction. Sometimes I have read very interesting discussions but I simply don't know what to say so I don't respond. In fact I think that if you ignore the people that apparently ignore your responses, you'll lose the oportunity to participate on some interesting discussions. Thanks for asking us this question. Have a nice day. ALVARO

I do not feel bad as I also ignore many discussion even after getting email about that. Its all about interest, if a discussion interests me will reply otherwise just ignore. same applies to others maybe they did not find my discussion interesting so did not reply. thats fine, nothing to worru

actually it doesn't bother me...one will comment a response only if he finds it interesting...or if it's a suitable opinion.....so we can't expect a comment for our every response....ignoring a user or category of discussion is one's choice... thanks for sharing... have a great day/night.....

No, I do not think that way at all. I mean, sometimes it is really hard to come up with an answer to some of the things people write, and I totally understand that, so that's not something to get angry about. I am still too new here to know anyone or keep tabs on what people are doing, so I would not be able to remember that kind of things anyway!

well so far since I joined mylot, most of my responses did get noticed and get commented. There are like 2 or 3 that was not commented at all... or even maybe as you said it, it's not been noticed..probably. So it does make me think, like..oh well, I'm wasting time. You see, if my main purpose is to make money here then I wouldn't be wondering at all why my response wasn't noticed. When i post something and i got response, i will comment so they know i noticed it...just so they won't put me in their "negative box".. take care

This does not bother me unduly, there are quite a lot of members here who never seem to bother maintaining their discussions so I simply accept the fact. I understand the way you feel, because if someone simply creates a discussion and then disappears it does not really constitute a discussion but just a list of opinions. Naturally it is more enjoyable to exchange views as a proper discussion, so I often check back to see if the response has received a comment that requires a further input.

Hi! This post has already received many number of responses. I have observed that each member does not post his/her comment on our responses and many of our responses are left unattended. I on my part, love to participate only in those friends' discussions, who are particular about posting their comments/counter-comments to my responses. Those who do not give me feed back on my responses, I start ignoring their posts and ultimately 'delete' them from my list.

I'm disappointed, but I keep plugging away. I will say that if a person NEVER responds to MY discussions, I will eventually stop responding to theirs.

Well during my early days as a mylotter, i didnt know that we are supposed to comment back on the replies to our discussions. But eventually i learned that we should comment back to them, so i went back to those discussions that i started and then commented back to those who replied. Maybe that person is a newbie, so i wont mind. But even if that person is not a newbie and he/she ignores my reply to his/her discussion, i wont mind as well, because it's his/her discretion already if he/she chooses to reply or not. I wont hold it against them. ;-)

How about the ones who just respond to all with thanks for responding? Or reply back to your responce with that. Its like "Oh, hi, bye now"

Two of my topics did not get any response. However, this did not deter me one bit from posting more discussions. I thought it might be so that no one was interested in those topics. I did not have many friends too on the friend's list at that time. Friends know about your discussions through notifications. The time you post your discussion also matters. May be the people who would have been interested in the topic are sleeping at that moment. By the time they wake up your discussion is right under several other interesting topics. I myself never respond to the discussions of so many friends in my friend list because those topics do not interest me. Further, I am not revengeful. Many times, I respond to a discussion without trying to know who has initiated the discussion. Ill feeling would breed more ill feeling. One cannot hide for long if he or she is holding a grouse against someone. It would reveal itself sometime or the other.
