Mylot , Discussions -- no comment.

When I first joined mylot well over a year ago, I felt it was absolutely necessary that I should leave a comment on every response received - after all - that member did take the time to respond -and responses do add up.
However I have realized that it would be wiser not to comment on some responses received. Especially those which seem geared to tempt one to lose their cool - and maybe fly off the handle. Some are best ignored and a few , best deleted. Thankfully I have been forced to delete only four responses since I have been here - and the last of that four as recently as last week.
I decided to ignore the recent response by one particular member who seems on a mission to ruffle my feathers. I have commented on his responses to my discussions , I have deleted one response and I have ignored one - but if he continues in this vein - what will my next step be?. I have never blocked anyone before, but that button might come in handy quite soon.
Do you usually comment back on every response received on your discussions? Has a response ever made you lose your cool?

I always leave a like on comments. Most times there is nothing new or interesting to add.

Yes and I just deleted the comment. Like I said I have only blocked one for calling me names because I believe in God.

Usually I comment back, although I can omit to do it if the response is a "thank you" response made to earn a cent. The only comments or responses I have ever deleted were spam posts out of topic to promote something. If the comment is insulting/abusive, I just report it without commenting back, and I let an admin decide if it should be deleted or not.

I like to respond back to every response I receive, even if it just a few words with an emoji such as a

@Kandae11 It's like a personal attack?

Yes, I have not only blocked a couple of weirdos, but reported them as well. I usually leave a like or a simple thank you. Some I have stopped following, because they copy my ideas, words, expressions, etc. I know they still read my discussions, but I don't give a hoot anymore.

I comment back on every response and rarely need to delete. I have once or twice but that particular person didn't last long here. I mostly refuse to get dragged into controversy and try to put something like 'thanks for your comment' if I get stuck. But if someone is continually baiting me, I'd block them.

I have to think carefully before decide or not decide to answer something. If I see something is explained wrong then I have to get in there and explain it the right way. I do ignore some because I personally do not like the person and their attitude.

Sometimes I get stuck for words, struggling to find anything to say. And when that happens, I leave it unanswered and just like it instead...

Yes,,, I do. But when I couldn’t log for sometime, the notifications get deleted automatically and I won’t be able to find them and respond.

I know what you mean, if I see that someone is trying to piss me off in most times I will just ignore it but I also know how to play the "game". We have to keep on our energy

Sometimes I will fall myself in that as well, it needs some working to not to do that and just ignore. I also hate to feel like I'm wasting my time
