It's not what you say but the way that you say it.

I find this to be true in life as well as on the internet, text messages too, what you send as a joke, may come off as a mean spirited text, or whatever the case may be. I think sometimes it's best to be very literal in your speech unless you're in person.

Yes Deeeky I agree with you there but sometimes you get People that no matter how much you explain it they still take it wrong lol But that is not just here on mylot even in real life or on the Messenger or Text Messages or even talking to a Person to the Face

That is very true because you are unable to see the expressions. and feel the emotions you assume... sometimes its very hard to read people... yet you can only guess what it is they are trying to communicate...it is great that we are able to respond and try to reason our thoughts

I agree with you. The way people understand your post may not always be in the same way that you meant it to be. Sometimes it depends on the topic at hand and the way that the readers feel about it. I also agree with you when you said that at least mylot allows us to correct any misconceptions by being able to reply again and again. Hopefully people won't be too sensitive about things and remember that bickering would result to the discussion being deleted thus reducing our earnings.

yes..i agree with you.. it happens always like this... sometimes.. you post in a good manner.. but others might misunderstood you.. so.. there's not much you can do about it.. i think the best is to just accept it.. don't you think so? :P .. i think we can't stop bias right? it means people have their own point of view.. if they think we're a not good people.. can you say you're good? .. i do know many quarrels occur due to this reason.. and i really hope all mylotter can read properly what others post before starting an argument.. =) .. we're here to be friends right? :)

I agree Mylot is an useful tool for finding effective ways to communicate with people, also in life outside of mylot i think your phrase has a lot of meaning. In discussion people will often react to tone and body language quicker than they will to the actual logical implications of your argument. SO it is always important to take a measured approach in heated discussions so that you be sure that both parties are listneing and that there is a communication link. Not just one way yelling on both sides

Its true,but mostly when people post personal questions,they are not able to handle the variety of answers and end up giving negative ratings to comments they dont like!

This is quite true and I think that sometimes the language barrier doesn't help some people. However, with a little patience, one can normally sort out the meaning of a discussion. I have noticed though that different people read and understand discussions in different ways. A good thought there, Deeeky. Brightest Blessings.

Oh yeah being able to discuss things back and forth can be very beneficial. Sometimes it allows us to clarify things or perhaps say "Ok you may have a point there". It allows us to interact and when needed restate what we mean in a way that is easier to understand. We might never agree with each other but that's ok too. We just want to make sure our thoughts are understood.

I agree 100 percent. This is a site to "discuss" felings, opinions, etc. So there are a multitude of ways to say any one thing weithout harming anyone elses feelings. Some people here seem to really learn proper ettiquette when "discussing" one of the members discussions. I've seen name calling, slander, and even some threats as of late here. This isn't what I joined for. But I'm off track now with my whining. Hahaha. Thanks and have a great day sir. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I do try to be as clear and concise as I can on here although there are times when it is difficult to understand some of the discussions. I love MyLot though, and in general I have found that people on here do try to make the effort to be clear

U are so true. I havent have this exp on mylot but in usual online chats i do face this problem many times. And i do always have to clarify

Yes totally agreed that it is the art of saying that matters....a good orator is always valued...we can take examples from history like hitler even though he was short heigted was he was a great demographic orator andthroug this art only he has influenced millions of people...
