Do you argue over the small stuff?

I've noticed that some My Lot members are more than happy to point out flaws in other people's speech and discussions. I'm sure that they don't realize the people they are attacking are most likely from non-english speaking countries and are doing the best they can. Personally, I've found that some of the best responses on my discussions come from India, China, Phillipines and other areas of the world. Of course my American friends post great ideas too. Other times, these negative My Lot members go around pointing out irregularities in discussions. And will point out inconsistencies in a person's life. For instance, "Hey, didn't you say you had three dogs and a cat, not two dogs and a rat?" It's like a Dr. Suess book! Then there's all kinds of finger pointing and name calling. The other day someone posted an overly rude comment on one of my Katie Holmes posts, telling me to butt out of her life and grow up. Come on! This is an open forum. If I want to ask questions about Katie Holmes then I will. I love Katie, she's a great gal! Not happy about her life choices. But the baby was a nice bonus. I'm not sure if rude and negative people know this, but My Lot doesn't pay for negative or hurtful posts. But, that doesn't seem to matter to them. Anything to start an argument, right? Maybe their spouse was mean to them, so they're just taking it out on the general My Lot public. I don't understand the logic. How can you win friends with such a negative attitude. Noone likes to be chopped down to a tiny size. What's with all the nit-picking? Can't we all just get along?

I agree with you all the way. This is supposed to be a place where we can come and put down our opinions. As you say there are a lot of people that come here from other countries and do the best they can. I for one congragulate them on coming here and posting in English because you know it has to be hard for them. I misspelled a word in one of my discussions and one of the responses was telling me that the word was not spelled right and if I didn't know how to spell the word not to bother posting. At first I was a little irritated since they had not responded to my discussion other that putting that remark down. After I thought about it I figured it wasn't even worth responding to a childish remark like that. I like to come here. I agree with your discussion. It is a good one that brings valid points out.
