Please do not complain walk by

Some people are just ignorant and nasty minded Gabs. Though if you pointed that out to them, they'd deny it I'm sure! I look at it this way: If mylot admin wanted us to 'shorten' our discussions, there would be a word total we could reach while typing and then we'd be cut off. And there isn't. So to those who complain...............well I think we need a smilie that thumb's it's nose we can use on them! I had someone complain about the length of my last discussion, but they were nice about it, so that was ok. I thanked them for reading it all. To those who get nasty, I check out their profile and often find those types are only here for the money anyway, and so I don't let them bother me. They aren't worth any effort. So you write as many long discussions as you want Gabs. I certainly enjoy them and I know more people do than people who don't. Hugs.......

I've heard that too. I had a comment once stating "You're not paid per word!" Uh... so? I don't always start discussions just to earn a penny, sometimes I start them because I am looking for advice or knowledge or whatever else. I've also had people respond to my discussions and flat out say they hadn't read the whole thing, yet they try to respond anyways.

A few weeks ago, we found someone who also posted a one-liner about Pyewacket's discussions being too much to read. After he started SEVERAL (not one - but several) discussions complaining about his earnings, & leaving one-worders & short one-liners that just made no sense we succeeded in getting him wiped off of MyLot. So where did it happen & who was it?

Gabs we have been friends for almost 4 years and am used to the very detailed and descriptive discussions from you and Gissi...verdict...I love them all. I have said from day one that you should write children's books under the Gissi personae. I know I do not respond to all of your (or other friends) discussion but it has nothing to do with the length of the discussion but because I do not have time or anything to add. I much prefer your attention to detail than discussion that do not give enough detail and I am left wondering who or what the poster means or even worse causes misunderstanding which then lead to wars, hurt feelings etc. So in other words you just keep doing your thing and if anyone does not like it then they can move on! xxOOxx

Hey gabs! There are plenty of discussion starters here who start very LONG discussions that are way longer than yours! And if those that are not interested DO NOT HAVE TO READ THEM! GO AWAY! If they are looking for fast money, there are plenty of one liner discussions with no substance to respond to! Those of us that are here with our friends CARE what OUR FRIENDS have to say so we WANT to read what THEY HAVE TO SAY NO MATTER HOW LONG THE DISCUSSION IS! We are not interested in the length of the discussion or the money! And they can take their rude azzes somewhere else! I, myself am longwinded in starting and responding and I don't give a crap if someone doesn't like it! I have many friends here that I care about and that care about me! After a year on the Lot that's what happens! So Gabs, do not let anyone tell you what to do or make you feel that you are doing anything wrong because WE WHO ARE YOUR TRUE FRIENDS AND GISSI'S LOVE YOU BOTH AND WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU BOTH! DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING THAT YOU ARE DOING! MAKE YOUR DISCUSSIONS AS LONG AS YOU WANT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOUR FRIENDS WANT YOU TO DO! Hugs to you and Gissi, Opal, Star and Luna and More...................................

Wow. Those are the types of people who just find things to complain about. Like you said...if you think it's too long, why are you sticking around and only "contributing" to the discussion by complaining? If I saw someone leaving a comment with a complaint I'd rate it negative. There's no reason to take the time to post if you can't contribute.

I agree with you Gabs, so often we have posted good but long discussions, I think some of the newbies here don't get it they are here to make a quick buck and do not believe in waisting any time(OOPs bandwith) many discussions you see have just one line responses and just one word comment too many get repetitive. I guess when they siged up they never went through the guideines. Thanks for bringing this out. I generally mark such single line comments as - and then move ahead.

I have not run into this in any of my discussions, but mine are not usually very long. I do not have a problem with my friends posting long discussions. If we sat down for coffee or tea we might each have some long winded things to say. It makes the background complete in a discussion. No reason for people to be rude, but some people choose to anyway. You just keep up, Gabs. We love ya.

Well not me as I dont read all the responces in every ones posts I get in do the responce and go one to the next . And your right if they think it is to long go passed Please!

I try not to ever complian in a discussion. If it is a long one and I do not have the time to read it, I pass it by. Sometimes I will stop by them and respond to it if I have the time and try to help out also.

I have no problem with long discussions, if the subject is interesting... I hate seeing rude people responding to discussions just to b*tch about them. I have posted long discussions, and if anyone complains, I report them - I would suggest that you do too. They are not the sort that we need at this site.

You know what gabs, I can not agree with you more!! Gee, if I bore someone, I hope they move on to other subjects that peeks their interest because like you, my life is what it is, my life. Interesting or not, it is my life just like yours is yours. If someone doesn't like it, then it's time they moved on to what ever they're interested in. There's no need to be mean, hateful or rude. No need what so ever! Sweetie, don't let these ignorant azzes get to you!! You have enough friends here that ARE interested in what you have to say and that includes ME!!

Thankfully I have never had this problem. I don't see why people even respond if all they are going to do is complain. I enjoy long discussions because they are detailed, and you are able to get the whole gist of things. I think some people are just cranky, rude people who need to get over themselves lol, and have nothing better to do. Hopefully they will stop bothering you. Good luck.

I like your discussions and Gissi's discussions. I agree, as long as it's within guidelines, if you don't like the discussion, just walk on by. Why make a pain in the neck of yourself. There are plenty of other discussions!!!

Gabs, I must admit that if the discussion is very long and I am short of time then I will give it a miss, or skim through it, however I would never ever complain about the length. Again if I found it boring I would just move on to another one. I don't ever remember any of yours being boring, although what is boring to someone could be very exciting to someone else. This is a discussion site, the discussion should be about the content that has been posted, not about the length or quality, I am happy to read all your discussins, and proud to be able to call you a friend. ps tell me who complained and me and Gissy will go round and show them what teeth are for.

I think it is safe to say that most of us have had a similar experience, gabs. I remember once that one of my discussions was referred to as "stupid."I could only think: Well, why are you taking the time to respond if it is so stupid? I just think that some people get a thrill from putting others down. You're absolutely right that we should go into some detail when the discussion warrants it. Don't worry about the critics.

Here here...I agree. There are enough discussions started at any one time to keep everyone happy. If you don't like the length or the content..keep on going....or be really useful and respond to one that has no responses so someone else makes a bit of money...

You're right, it's rude to respond to a discussion by saying it's long, boring, or whatever. If it doesn't interest you, move on. There are plenty of other discussions to participate in. I don't understand why people feel they have to comment if they have nothing constructive to contribute.

Hello Gabs....remember me? lol I LIKE you! Hope to be reading many of your discussions.

It is best not to complain each other....we are free to set up any kind of discussions here and no matter the lenght of the discussion,it is not a big issue.
