I thought toxic people are only outside myLot.
But I was wrong, there are also toxic people here.
I made a list but I won't tag them here. 
At first, I really like them because of there honest remarks on their discussion and of mine. After a series of interaction, I found out that some of them become someone I don't know. Some of them become sarcastic, too honest that sometimes will hurt your feelings, too proud and the one that I irk so much is, she is mean.
As I've said before, I'm not that kind of person who blocks people here because though they are mean, I want them to feel that I'm not affected. That I still consider them as part of myLot.
I know for some I'm toxic as well. But at least I'm honest enough to open up my opinion and I do the same with them.

Never interact with them anymore?

I do the same. I just ignore them. If they're being mean to me directly, I still try to answer them without being mean. I'm not easily offended anymore as I've been chatting online with people of different cultures since 1995. LOL.

I have said this before and I will mention it again. You won't find a gathering of saints at mylot and other similar sites. The people you find here are the same people you would normally meet as you go about your daily life. Whether, at home ,work or play. In business, hospitals, school,travel, the markets, university, church. People are people everywhere.

@almostoveryou I'm glad too. I don't need to make enemies out of friends.

That's happened to me too, Valerie. I've blocked someone accidentally. Good thing there's an option to unblock.

I hope I have never been mean to you, that is never my intention.

I just ignore them. Drama queens and kings do not rule my roost on mylot or in my personal life. That's how I like it.

@enlightenedpsych2 The trick is to not react when she wants one from you. Let her drama be her own.

I don't blame you, I don't usually block people either but if someone was intentionally mean I certainly would be tempted to. Life is just too short to let strangers hurt you.

I haven't met anyone here and that is good but if you say there are such people here and you do not want to block them then just ignore them. Do not read their posts and pretend they are not here.

There was a troll who is now gone. He was toxic. There is another guy here that really scorches my socks. I don't interact with him anymore. He could make a lot of cash here with his subject matter but chooses to dump on people. I wish him the best but I just read his posts and don't react.

I never interact with toxic people, especially oddballs who are jealous, boring, mean spirited, and copycats by word or deed. I don’t follow them and never read their discussions or comments if I’m unlucky enough to come across them. I know they read my discussions and visit my friends. It’s a joke with several of my friends here.

I think it's important to remember that the written word can be very easy to misinterpret. You don't get to hear *how* something is said. An innocent question or comment can be misconstrued, especially when English is not your first language.
And - of course - there are some genuinely toxic people who just like being mean!

@JustBhem I agree. I just hope I'm not one of them!

I read things that catch my eye....I comment when and where it seems appropriate. I've learned that some Mylotters don't really want your honest opinion....they just want a pat on the back and a "poor you" comment, I've learned who to avoid. I've probably (know I have) been blocked by some.

Toxic people become invisible to me. If they make remarks that are violations, I report them. If they are just ignorant and rude but cannot be reported, I leave their comments alone so that the rest of the myLot world can see their true colors. They kill their own reputation.

This is a virtual world. There are many here who do not understand English and this is the main reason for such interactions. I used to get upset before but not any more There is plenty of fish in the ocean. Just pick the ones that make you comfortable.

I know that there are some very toxic people here on the site.
I steer clear from them and their discussions and also their comments on discussions that I comment on.
I read for what interests me first of all, and usually its not something from a toxic person.

I think toxic people can be found anywhere at all.
I'm not sure how to answer your question because I've wondered about that myself.
I haven't been on myLot long enough or posted often enough to have real problems with anyone here.

Just ignore them.
Some may be offensive perhaps they are having a bad day and when they come across somebody's discussion they look into that discussion and come out arguing or offending the host.
What you are doing is right, not block just ignoring the person and like what Anna@LadyDuck said, you can report them.
Nobody has the right to be mean during discussions.
If they don't like the discussion, they can leave because nobody is obliged to answer all discussions.
If they can't say anyhting nice better to stay quiet and move on to another topic.
That easy.
