In-depth discussion or lightweight chat?

@rebelann Yeah, I get what you mean. Such deep debates must be handled with sensitivity and I don't think myLot is the place for that but those other types you refer to I see as 'chewing gum for the brain'. Maybe I'm on the wrong site.

Do you enjoy serious debates @ThreeTeddies ?

@rebelann Yes, I do.

@ThreeTeddies it's more than that, you just have to find it. And if that's what you want to do then go for it lol.

@hillhjill My conscience wouldn't allow me to post banal stuff like that. I like to think I give value for money to those who read my discussions

@hillhjill I'm beginning to realise what myLot is all about. Maybe I should just tell people what I have for breakfast every day

@mayka123 I also avoid religious and political posts.

@ThreeTeddies I think when we are face to face we think of the consequences of being nasty. But online people dont have to face the other person and think they can say anything.

@mayka123 Some people seem to think that because they're not face-to-face with someone they can get as nasty as they like. They're probably not like that in real life

Yeah, I'm beginning to realise this is the norm on myLot

@ThreeTeddies If you like serious discussions, why are your posts so short?

@just4him As do I but I do like to become involved in serious discussions

@just4him When I first joined I saw what others were posting and simply followed the crowd. I did try a couple of longer posts but the consensus of opinion from the replies to this discussion seems to favour short, easy-to-interact-with posts probably because a quick read and a simple reply allow people to move on to another post thus maximising their earning opportunities. myLot obviously isn't a site for long, thoughtful, serious stuff

@ThreeTeddies That's fine with me. I like to try to give 'value for money' so I mostly avoid food posts if it's just a list of what I had for breakfast, not that I mind others doing that. I like to think there is a bit of useful stuff in most of what I post. Or it is at least entertaining. But that's just me.

@JudyEv From some of the replies here I think you are in the majority. myLot doesn't seem to be the place for serious debate. Be prepared to know what I have for breakfast every day from now on!

@Plethos They can be fun!

@acelawrites It seems that on myLot speed equals income so most people operate that way

@ThreeTeddies it is easy to interact and there are no conflicts.

@nela13 That seems to be what most people think
