Will you answer a discussion even if there's a big long story attached to it? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. Druscilla34 (11144)5 months ago

I'll be honest, usually I skip these. They just take too long to read. I never have the patience to sit there and read the whole thing from beginning to end. What about you? Will you answer a discussion if it's really long? Or do you move on to the faster, easier ones?


Can't believe it

Well i am kind of lazy reading long discussions but if it interests me, then i would extend my patience and respond to it. Most of the time, i respond to one-liner discussions cause it's much easier to comprehend unlike those long stories with so many words which kinda bugs me honestly. doh


myLot reputation of 93/100. Druscilla34 (11144)  5 months ago

Yeah, I know what ya mean. Thanks koalapenguin


myLot reputation of 99/100. vingyan06 (1265)  5 months ago

Hello Koalapenguin,
I don't like to go for the discussion that is too long story and bored . But if it happen the story is very interesting and keep me want to read till the end, then I will like to response that. But I definitely will not go for 1 line discussion. They aren't called as a discussion, maybe is called as a question, LOL. The discussion should be as descriptive as possible. I prefer middle length discussions, not too long or not too short + interesting! lol


myLot reputation of 95/100. koalapenguin (1371)  5 months ago

It should be really interesting to get our attention. thumbup Most of my time, i respond to questions and touching stories about life and love. I seldom answer discussions about religion cause it really is a hot topic of everyone. My most responded discussions will be all about myLot and how we all love this site. rolleyeslol

Most of the time, no, I mean I 'always' respond to discussions that really interest me. I also don't have the patience to read a loooong story except if its really good. I like discussions that are short but meaningful though.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Druscilla34 (11144)  5 months ago

Me too happy Thanks jenskye03

For me, it depends on what mood I am in when I come to MyLot. Generally, I tend to do the same as you and skip over the longer posts, not because they're uninteresting but because I don't have the time and/or patience to read the longer posts. I'm hoping that'll change in the future, but that's how it stands right now.=)


myLot reputation of 93/100. Druscilla34 (11144)  5 months ago

Okay, fair enough. Thnx lwelizabeth. If I have all the time in the world, then sometimes I'll read a long one...but most of the time I'm more interested in responding as quickly as possible. More typing= more words= more $$

4. myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (15518)   5 months ago

it depends, on who's posting it and what its about

I know I tend to post whole stories, but if people bother to read them, they generally like them


myLot reputation of 93/100. Druscilla34 (11144)  5 months ago

I like your long stories...because usually they're about kitty-cats thumbup


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (15518)  5 months ago

well, I do have lots of cats to talk about, and there are some I've barely mentioned....


myLot reputation of 93/100. Druscilla34 (11144)  5 months ago

happy

If the topic is interesting, I would spend time reading the "novel". I sometimes write a novel here and myLotters are responding to it, so it is just polite to do the same thing...


myLot reputation of 93/100. Druscilla34 (11144)  5 months ago

ha ha! Reading the "novel" lol Thanks hornetlover

6. myLot reputation of 78/100. wonttakelong (1666)   5 months ago

honestly.....
I dont read long stories here unless the title really grabs my attention
I barely have enough time to read the short discussions here anymore


myLot reputation of 98/100. Shar19 (2794)  5 months ago

I agree - sometimes it's hard to even read the short ones because there can be so many going on at once.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Druscilla34 (11144)  5 months ago

Why's that, wonttakelong? No time for myLot? shockedshocked

7. myLot reputation of 97/100. mobhomeir (1567)   5 months ago

Honestly we're the same. I really hate reading long discussions, I am sorry but I was just trying to be true and honest here....


myLot reputation of 93/100. Druscilla34 (11144)  5 months ago

No need to apologize, mobhomeir. I feel the same. It's not that I get mad at people for writing really long discussions, it's just that I know we make more $$ if we type more...so while I'm reading, the whole time I'm thinking, "you should be typing, not reading...you should be typing." lol Thanks


myLot reputation of 97/100. mobhomeir (1567)  5 months ago

Yes thanks also. I got what you mean////..... more power to you...

8. myLot reputation of 98/100. Shar19 (2794)   5 months ago

I think it depends on how busy I am and if I have the time to read the whole thing. Some times people seem to post the same type of long discussion over and over again. If the discussion isn't something that I have an answer for or if it doesn't interest me then I'll just skip over it.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Druscilla34 (11144)  5 months ago

Yep, me too. Thanks Shar19

I get impatient also and will usually only answer about half of page. For one thing it comes to me in a font to small for me to read easily..


myLot reputation of 93/100. Druscilla34 (11144)  5 months ago

Oh boy, nothing's worse than a big long story in small font blink
Thanks savypat

10. myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (13920)   5 months ago

That is very upfront and honest of you! I tend to take the time to read long discussions if they are started by my friends through notifications, but sometimes the reason I don't answer them is due to the fact that I don't have anything to contribute or I know nothing about the subject. When I have exhausted all my notifications and look for other discussions then yes more often than not I will skip the war and peace discussions LOL!


myLot reputation of 93/100. Druscilla34 (11144)  5 months ago

War and Peace discussions!! lollol

Thanks wolfie
