Don't Hijack My Post

Sometimes "one liner" comments too mean a lot. I don't mind if people do that.

I will try to remember not to do that on your posts. A lot of people have been posting what they don't prefer; can't promise I will remember it all.

When I saw the title I assumed that you were referring to the habit of allowing the conservation to drift well off topic, which I often do. As it is I agree fully with what you are saying and find it irritating myself.

No, I do not think that you are overreacting. I have found a member who will comment on every single comment on a topic of mine-and like you say, its like I cannot read. There is nothing wrong with that if it adds to the discussion, but more often then not, I find it just irks me as it doesn't add anything other then frustration. There, now my vent is over. I'm sorry to make my comment seem more like a vent, but I do share your concern.

You are not overreacting because this is something that I also dislike a lot. What I do now is to delete those interactions that clearly only ask to go to check their profiles.

Ok, I went to the post about Jack and saw what you meant. I think this person needs to learn how the commenting and such should be done. It was. a little much and I would have been irritated too

If you feel that someone's comments are impertinent and inappropriate, you are at liberty to either delete them or to report them. You can also block that person if you think he/she is constantly making unwanted and irrelevant comments. Since myLot is a public forum, there are all sorts of people here. I find that there are, broadly, three categories - those we feel amicable towards and share many interests with, those with whom we have little in common and tend not to interact with much and those who we find actively irritating and annoying. That's the way here as well as in life in general and in real life we have ways of avoiding those whom we dislike without seeming to be offensive. Occasionally, in spite of all our efforts to just not associate with certain people, they will take offense where none was intended and that, really, is their problem, not ours. myLot has tried to provide ways of avoiding such people here and the 'block' feature, while it is not perfect, is one of them. Personally, I use it very little, if at all because I don't get a great deal of harrassment from anyone here but it is there to be used as a 'last resort' if you need it.

I agree with you. And maybe a reasonable reaction is to delete those apparent interactions

I came across someone doing that on a couple of my discussions but I just ignored ..

Back after reading the post about Jack and now I do understand perfectly what you meant.

I have noticed this going on too, I think patience is a virtue. I have had it happen but they soon learn its not the way to go. Then there are some of our old friends who do the same for fun and it makes interesting interaction on some posts. I have removed some comments when they show up on all my comments, It doesn't bother me to remove them. Just yesterday I saw someone outraged on his/ her own post when that was done. I thought that was a bit much...

I've been seeing a lot of this lately and I don't understand it. I guess they think they're helping in some way, but it confuses the heck out of me when I see that someone has "replied" to my post and it's just an interjection, sometimes in the middle of a conversation.

that does sound a little like overkill.

No that's neither rude n nor you are over reacting.. I think you're right, that's really annoying. I sometimes get in others comments but only when I wanna say something, not just for earning I would comment useless.. That's bad. I guess I'd either complain to admin for this or I'm going to block such people

I think I know what you are talking about. It does not bother me but I can understand how it could be an issue.

Actually you earn even with those comments. I used to be upset too when my posts were getting hijacked but when I came to know they earn for me I let it go

I also noticed that, my friend. But then, I just go along with it. At the back of my mind, I felt like being offended.

I wouldn't have scruples deleting a comment thread if it annoyed me. You're too polite!

I know what you mean. I'm going to look at your older posts right now. Sorry, I've been busy settling in and haven't been around much. Yep. I had the same from that person. Ugh!

I have some of that going on as well. It's weird if you ask me.
