People who misrepresent, just for attention

I think I undertsand what you're saying, but maybe a similar situation happened that seemed like the one presented in the joke. That has happened to me before. I had heard a joke and a friend later presented it as something that had happened to her and I asked her if she was being honest and she was offended. I later learned that what she said was true. I think a lot of humor mimics reality, so it could have been possible in this circumstance. But there are also people who put themselves into a joke to make it seem personal to gain more attention or a bigger laugh. I think that some one who would do this either doesn't know that what they are doing is offensive, or they just really crave the attention. I wouldn't get so upest about it, but rather feel good in the fact that you can tell the difference between a joke and real life. Have a good day!

I used to write poetry from time to time. It helped me get my emotions out. I wrote one when I first met my partner, it was dedicated to him and my love for him. I sent it to my friend and asked for her opinion. She emailed me and said she loved it and how sweet it was and all that. A few month later, she was supposed to have been getting married. On her blog, she posted a poem that she said SHE'D written. Of course, it was MY poem. I left her a public comment and said basically, "Either take this work down or I'll sue you for copyright infringement, because that's MY work, not yours and you know it." She did remove the poem but she never apologized and she never spoke to me again. People who misrepresent for attention make me angry. Are their lives really so pathetic that they have to stoop so low? A joke is a joke, but when you take something that's not yours and then try to pass it off as your own, you're going to get caught out sooner or later.

Yes it does I have to be honest there And I hope you never come across anything like that again What annoys me is why have they not been deleted something is not right here A lot of Members good loyal Members are staying away at the moment because they do a Discussion and it is deleted then those type do not get deleted I miss my Friends on here that are staying away at the moment and I wish that it would stop and go back to normal

i really do not understand here what is your problem... this is something really natural...and has to happen.... on the other hand i feel that you are really angry with someone.. and do not want to mention it to him/her.... you want to make sure they know you are angry and then you want them to apologize to you... isnt this true

I have a friend who complained last month about this kind of faulty set up. He knew this poster on a personal basis and didn't feel good about the way this poster kept spreading lies. I agree that this is supposed to be a place for honest discussions and sharing but anyone can easily access and register at mylot. I have to admit that I'm growing tired of this place. Its like I'm losing my touch here. I can't feel the excitement anymore. I can easily detect the underlying lies of some threads here and its sickening to know the audacity of some members posting discussions like that. You are not the only one, crickethear. A lot are noticing it too.

yea this bothers me as well. come on people, be yourself! it's not that hard to think of somethign to talk about here on mylot! Dont shoot for questions that ou think will guarantee 50+ responses! just ask a question, someone will answer it! Stealing is the worst thing you can do! and dont think you wont get caught, cause you will, and you will be punished!
