How do you feel when....

I feel that if someone has a comment they should be true and honest in what they say. But not to tear someone down for their discussion, thats just wrong. We can give our opinions but to be rude about it just isnt right. Yes, I would feel scammed knowing it wasnt real back in the 30s. Its amazing how people can get lost in all the hype. I mean look at when we hit the year 2000, everyone was saying the world is coming to an end. We are all still here now arent we? Just because we hear something on TV or the news doesnt mean its truly going to happen. We cant believe everything we hear, only to take it in with a grain of salt and see what happens.

I dont point them directly that your response their response was not related to the discussion rather i would try to explain the actual part of it.some really come up with some thing totally irrelevant then i have no option but to thank them for responding rather than trying to explain and this happened with me some times in my discussions. I try to got hrough the other responses so i get an idea of topic being discussed so i can avoid these kind of situations.gud day.

I agree with you totally…some people are just so inarticulate with their words and they have no idea how their framing of a sentence can hurt another person, especially since this is a virtual world and we have no way of connecting physically and apologizing or making ourselves clear. Something similar happened to me just yesterday…I was browsing thru idly when I saw a discussion about you meeting an infamous person and what your reactions would be…while many said (and the poster agreed) that they would kill him without question, I was more sedate in my response and in reply I was told that I am sweet and weak???!!!...for a moment, I was stumped…I mean how exactly should you react to being told that you are weak! I thought of asking back what exactly did the person mean by that particular adjective, but then I just let go…plenty of better things to do here!

I don't think I've ever gotten such a response. I try to understand and respond to everyone who takes time to respond to my discussions.

There are kinds of people in this world, thing is not all of them treat others with respect. Would be nice to be done, thing is no matter where you go there are those that just don't know how to give respect. I am sure you have ran in to some like this in your lifetime. No different online. We have Awesome people and we have horrid ones, its the mix that makes this all work actually. In my opinion. If you would of not received that opinion you would not of started this discussion which helps you in the long run. My opinion, your answer was a good one. It may not of related if this person was talking about internet scams or something like that in his head, just didn't explain it well enough in typing it out. That person should of appreciated the different answer of such as the one of Orson Wells. That radio broadcast caused so much... it can be considered as a scam in today's terms. Good Answer. To bad it wasn't appreciated. Maybe you should try and find out why it wasn't related and get the a whole discussion going on the differences of opinion. Just an idea. Like this discussion

At least what you posted did have to do with scams. I started a discussion the other day ago and the first person that responded to it came in talking about earnings and things that were totally unrelated. The discussion that I had started was about your feelings on organ donation. This person posted right after I started the discussion with something that was totally unrelated and completely inappropriate. Now, I just ignored the post from that person and went on about my day. However, I've also had a person tell me that my response wasn't what they were looking for and that didn't bother me too bad because I had read the discussion wrong. I wouldn't feel too bad about it, but I would also hesitate to respond to that person's discussions in the future as well.

All I can say is that if that person wanted a better response then they should have been more specific with their discussion. After reading your response, I didn't find anything wrong with it. It's actually very interesting and good for further discussion. That person could have been more tactful and nicer with their response. If I was the recipient of that response I'd be a bit upset and that would lead me to never responding to any discussions made by that person again.
