If Someone Offends You on Mylot

If someone is rude, i normally just ignore the person and try not to get into an arguement with him or her. If they persist, i might reply, but not getting fully into it, since it doesn't worth it really. IF the person really goes too far and goes over the red lines, i will report the post they sent and i would try to forget about it.

Well...i just ignore.I rarely attract flames in my discussions.If somebody is aggressive-i think that no need to support this aggresy - he/she just has choosen the wrong way to win my attention. I have no energy to flame with people i even dont know.

When I started here there was someone who really was rude he made comments about my family , I actually cried pal and i felt sick , I was going to leave the site but instead I wrote a discussion about it , My new friends on here were just so brilliant about it that they gave me the courage to go to his name and leave a response ( a polite one as it is not my way to do it any other way) he never even had the decency to answer , some of my friends went in and left messages too and stood up for me , he tried it again at a later date and I stood up to him again , Since then I have heard nothing from him , I hope he has gone because he hurt quite a lot of people , by not answering he proved what a coward he was , take care pal xxxxxxxxxx

I have had it happen, and it might have been my fault, but I truly meant no harm. One time I started a discussion and not even a day later someone started the same discussion, I wrote to them nicely and told them that they should do a search, especially when it is about news items, before starting a discussion, they got quite rude with me and told me to pretty much mind my own business, I was put off, I never meant any harm, just wanted to tell them, since they were a newbie, that they might try to search discussions before starting them. This went on for some time, the nastiness back and forth, I eventually just dropped it thinking she was going to retaliate against me and not wanting that I stopped the emails. I thought it was awful the way she acted, so mean and hateful, I would never be mean to anyone, especially from here, for some reason I thought we were helping each other.

It depends I guess. I could be vengeful, being rude back or responding rudely to this person's discussions whenever I have the chance. Or I could be playful, make them being even more rude so I can report them or give me a reason to be vengeful. Other times I can see behind the rudeness and I will calm this person down. It's like dealing with people in real life.

I was called egotistical and I took offence. I normally don't retaliate and just leave it but this person caught me on one of my not so good days and I gave it to him. I didn't call him names but I did tell him how annoyed I was and told him to bugger off if he didn't have something nice to say. I don't know why I had to type it out because as soon as I entered it, I felt bad and apologised. Silly I should of just let it go! That was the first and the last time I did that!

Haven't had any rude comments as yet but if i did i would ignore them and carry on as usual, i don't like being patronized but again i would ignore it as one person being nasty isn't going to hurt me or spoil my day only people i care about can do that

if it did come to the point where i got offended on mylot i would ignore this person who offended me and if they carried on annoying me then i would report them to mylot as we should not have to put up with other peoples crap

If someone has offened me here on Mylot I would just not let it bother me so I will ignore it. I had a few that says things to me that I didn't like and I didn't want to say anything because it's not worth it so I ignore it. I will feel bad but still might reply to their discussions.

I just ignore the person who is offending me. If ever I also offended him/her, then I will apologized. Anyway, I have my own life and we are all different here. So just give the right respect and tolerance of other people. Live and let live. That's all!

I think I have reacted in all those ways in the past! Since I do not like nastiness I probably avoid them after I have told them what I think! xxx

I would first attempt to clear up the misunderstanding...it is difficult to put emotions and annunciation through typewritten word....then if that is not appeasing then I ignore them...short of blatant viciousness...I would not report them...I am a grown up!

I will ignore it cause i think it can drop my reputaion if i continue it...and you never know who can do what to you...right? If that person is here, just in front of me and i could see what he/she is doing to drop me down then I can afford to continue the argue......but here it is hadr to go up but easy to go down so any kind of involvement in urgues or fighting can cause me down....so it is wise to ignore....right?

I think text is very impersonal and it is very very easy to take something the wrong way. With speech you can tell the way ppl mean things by the inflections in their voice, this of course does not translate to text. I play online games and I have seen many instances of ppl falling out with each other over something they have typed. Another thing to consider is that some ppls grammar is absolutely appauling and so is their spelling (mine aint brilliant either). All it takes is a misspelled word or ommitted word to turn a sentence from being good to bad. Also most ppl dont proof read what they wrote before they hit the post button. One more thing if you dont know the person who has made the offensive comment, the only person they are making look stupid is themselves. Let them blow off their steam and just plainly ignore them, responding to them can only make you look as bad as they do. If they are picking holes in what you said because of misspelled words or bad grammar, be nice in your response. Never jump on the first impulse to lay the boot into them. Take a deep breath, count to ten and just ooze niceness, which can make the abuser look even more stupid.

Well I have had that done to me a couple of times and yes it did upset me very much as they where very rude about it I used to get upset and felt like leaving but all my Friends would always be behind me now I put a comment back and after that ignore it

If someone offends me on mylot... I get miffed for about 30 seconds and then I let it go. Life is to short to have ruffled feathers over what some stranger says to you on the internet.

I just ignore them. I do not have time for petty stuff.

I usually respond nicely to their reponse no matter what theirs is- then wait to see what they say- if they get really nasty I will report them- if they are mildly nasty I repond back with - I was not being nasty to you there is no reason for you to answer me that way - if it's just an issue about something i wrote - then I ask them why they have an issue. In other words i try to be as diplomatic as possible.

Mylot is a site where everyone has the liberty to write about his or her own opinions. It's quite impossible for one to be able to have everybody agreeable to just about everything he or she thinks. For me, if someone disagrees to my opinions, that's perfectly alright. That's his or her point of view. If I had been offended, well, I would just respond politely to what he or she wrote, and move on to another topic. It wouldn't really matter to me. I don't usually take note of the persons who reply to my discussions or whose discussions I respond to, unless they invite me to be in their list of friends. Besides, Mylot is such a huge community. I may never meet that person who disagrees with me, even if I had a second life. What matters is that Mylot is paying all of us for our opinions, whether we agree with each other or not, right?

EVERY morning i listen to this clip, be kind to those who hate you, pray for those who are weak and above all love your GOD. there are some ways you can change some bad behaviours by being kind and respond positvely to them which may surprise them so much and in that way make them reform their thoughts. IN THIS light if some offends me on mylot, i will only tell him what he/she has done is wrong and just laugh it off.
