How to not have enemies in Mylot

On my first few years in Mylot I gained a lot of enemies but now I don't have any. Maybe there are some people who don't like me but I never had an argument with someone for a long time. In fact a person I had a fight with here are actively talking here while being civil. I actually think that person forgot we fought before. 1. You can debate people for difference in opinion but do not turn a non debate topic into a debate. Why would you debate someone blogging about mourning her grandma's death or debate someone who is talking about how amazing her day. Yup there are members here who wants to start a drama in a topic that is not even a debate. 2. Don't comment on topics you are not interested in. You will just ruin that person's day. Why comment on a topic about Game of Thrones if you if you dont watch game thrones and hates game of thrones. Why comment on a discussion about how delicious strawberries are and just stop by to say strawberries are gross . In short don't be a Debbie Downer and ruin a topic you have nothing to contribute. Focus on things you are interested to. 3.Stay civil in debates- Do not insult a person because they have a different opinion, If you want to debate someone, talk about that person's opinion instead of calling that person names. 2. Do not Whine about being blocked, If you got blocked, move on, there are so many fishes in the sea. Stop playing victim and make a topic about it. 3. If you think a person did a violation, just report that person instead of publicly humiliating that person by calling them out publicly. My first 3 years in Mylot became hell because there was this person who kept accusing me of doing violations. 4.Do not comment on a topic without reading. I made a topic about a criminal who did a disgusting crime and someone just stopped by to praise me without reading my discussion. The person just stopped by to say the criminal is handsome. 5. Try to Understand someone's comment before replying, There are fights in Mylot that happened because of language barrier. I do admit in my first few years I had arguments here that were results of language barrier. 8 years ago a person and I fought because I used a figure of speech and that person didn't understand. He thought I was insulting him. He didnt know bad ass is a positive term, 6.Do not discriminate people , I remember person from a country with a conflict with another country, insults people from his country's rival. 7.Do not Generalize people. -There use to be a member here who ask Asian members if they eat dogs. Way to make an impression Amigo. 8. Dont be defensive of you violations- Some people here plays victim and defensive if their topic is deleted. 9.Do not be creepy- If you have a favorite member and you want to comment on that person's discussions, Go ahead but be subtle and not be a creepy stalker. I remember someone confessing his love to a member like a stalker.
This Cat has NEVER been abused. Her problem is that she doesn't like men and shows compelling aggression. I found it to be interesting so I thought I'd share...

Just be sincere and don't be rude. Or at least don't be intentionally rude .

@CaptAlbertWhisker I haven't blocked anyone yet - but yah, if you've had a bad experience with someone, better to just block 'em!

I blocked a person who never posted on my discussions nor encountered me for being rude to everyone.

@CaptAlbertWhisker Now I remember. There was a clannish atmosphere then and may be you were encouraged to behave the way you did. It is different now. Be bygones be bygones.

@allknowing I think language barrier is a reason. We both speak English but English language develops differently in our countries causing the misunderstanding.

So finally "be fake" and never give your honest opinion.

@CaptAlbertWhisker In fact I always skip sport discussions, because I do not like sport. I have no problems discussing politely with people. There are a few here who want to be right all the time, the best is to skip their discussion or always say they are right.

@LadyDuck Sometimes I help people with topics where I cant contribute by suggesting their topics to people I know who will like it. I just saw people who insulted each other because of their opinions about Trump. A pro Trump and anti Trump insults each other instead of attacking and defending Trump.

@CaptAlbertWhisker I have seen this a few days ago. There is no reason to insult someone only because the user does not share our same view.

In fact I think most people are still very nice and friendly here. It is fine for me to exchange different ideas.

I have always followed what you mentioned May be that's the reason I never made any enemy here in last 7-8 years.

I would rather have a reasonable voice and an enemy than no voice and lame friends.

The people I sampled are far from reasonable. Cyber bullies, people who dont read discussions, smart alecks, debbie downers, trolls and creepy stalkers are not reasonable.

I am always polite and mind my manners. Of course, I don't read discussions that I know I cannot reply to. Sometimes if I am curious I do read about topics I might not know much about but then in the discussion, I tell them that I don't know about that topic but was interested to read about it. Something like that.

Simply put, common decency and respectful approach to everyone with keeping ourselves open to different opinions will lead us a long way ahead in life.

The good thing with your advice is that they are based on your years of experience here in Mylot. There is really wisdom in experience.
