Adding comments to others responses?

HI GRANDPA....I don't do very often but yes ,few times I add comments to others response.I do if I really like the response and I have something to say about it or if the response are not so kind .I saw few times here not so kind responses,you can disagree with the point of the discussion ,nothing wrong with these but we must do it with kind way.... Now about correcting I do only if I'm 100% that the person information are wrong and I know the correct base the proofs. That's all......have a nice ????(here is night)

Hi Grandpa Bob, I think I know which discussion you are referring to...(wink). I think that if I had stated that the item you were inquiring about was positively, without a doubt, the type I had mentioned...debate would have been acceptable. However, I merely said that the item looked similar to the one I mentioned and then I described my item to help you further examine the two. I felt that it got a little out of hand because the member had plenty of room under their own response to add their information. As I recall, that member insisted that her item matched yours and she was incorrect. The member with the correct information chose to create her own response rather than add it to someone else's. So in closing, I feel that members should carefully read what another types before jumping under their response and in a sense saying...You're wrong, it's this. It got a little out of hand, and I felt a bit attacked. All is good though ;-)

I only do that if I think I can add to what they have said. It is irritating when it turns into a full blown side discussion. And some times you can see the feathers flying with the way the discussions head.

I add information, if it helps to clear up the subject. Also will add information when an important piece of the topic is missing, which recently happened on a Passions recap posted by another member. Its important to know the facts and have no problem with people improving my posts.

I have only rarely done this, but I don't see a problem with it. Afterall, if we were all sitting around a table discussion something, we would freely add and react to other's statements. That to me, is what constitutes a discussion. Sadly, others see that as interfering and get all huffy and start giving negatives to those who add their input to their comment. That is sad!

I would hope someone would correct wrong information. Wouldn't it be better to get the correct information out there? I do comment on other's comments if I have something to say. If I see something not correct, I would let them know, and I would hope someone would do that for me also.

I have gone through phases where I have commented on other peoples response. I try not to do this unless I have something postive to say. On the rare occassion, if I strongly disagree, I may comment. It doesn't make me feel guilty. We are encouraged to comment on other poeples responses. Off the topic, but related,. I got a silkly response to my discussion on the wattle bird. One person responded with... U are cool... Hmmm...

I normally try to ignore people who are rude or seem to be trying to cause trouble. In this case, I dont think it is my place to correct anyone, and I would not like it done to me either. We are here to give our opinions and views, and everyone is entitled to thier own. I find people who consistently correct others as they are speaking in real life, mostly to be the same people who always have a better way to do everything better than others, whether they are asked or not. I am not fond of these type of people at all LOL.

I don't normally try to correct anyone on here. Everyone is entitled to their view, regardless. If they base their opinion on what they've heard as opposed to what they know, then they leave themselves open for corrrection. I have found that many times someone's "correction" is actually them misconstruing what was read. :-)

I don't comment on others responces very often. And if I do it isn't to tell them they are wrong, I am not the type of person to point out when someone has their facts confused or whatever, why embarass then in front of everyone here on myLot?

I guess I'd need to know the details etc. Personally I do not mind if my info isn't accurate if someone said they'd been told differently I'm OK with that. The one thing that did rattle my cage was a person on my friends list let me know I should not be telling my friends at myLot to Take Care. He even started a post about it to get his message across. I ended up telling him that I had no intention to change and because I didn't want to hurt his feelings by saying Take Care I would just remove him from my friends list. The thing that bugged me is I had just got to a 98 and overnight I went to a 97, but no big deal. I'll put on my big girl panties and suck it up.hehehehe Take Care.

I do often respond to others comments, and on occasion I have corrected, but only if I can back my information up on factual issues. If it is someone's opinion of a situation, I do not correct anyone. Opinions are different for each person and they are not right or wrong. However, I am very nice about it and not upset or irate, and I do it in a friendly manner. I think it is wrong to attack someone for their opinions and to attack someone because they were mistaken on a fact.

i had seen those comments you mention grandpa..if i feel the need to respond to another comment and if i feel the need to correct them i do it in manner way..not like the way of lecturing to the point of offending others..sometimes if i disagree i will tell them politely..there is just this one time that i argued with someone and commented in defense for Mooch..i just thought she needed backup because people there just don't know how it feels like getting enough to have a special child with high special needs..i know i done it impolitely..but they just seem to had the urge of attacking back..from then on, i try to avoid those kinds of discussions if i have to respond then just respond to the writer and not to the responder anymore..

I do this a lot of the time, particularly since it gets me thinking and hence responding. In other cases it is to correct, comment or question. I usually avoid dragged out slugfests though. There are some members that just aren't worth talking to, they are set in stone and they'll carry on regardless. Other times, I've seen it devolve due to a mistake, but having a cooler head can help diffuse the situation. You sometimes get a friend out of it too :)

no, i never really add comments to somebody else's responses especially trying to correct other people's opinion... no... i usually just respond to the main theme by putting my own opinion... that's about it...

I do periodically comment on the responses of others. Right now I am doing very little on any site online, as I am working too much. If I feel the need to correct someone else's information, I try to do it in a non threatening, very polite way. I hope it comes across that way. I will say, "I may be wrong, but I have always heard blah, blah, blah" or something like that, just so that I am not being all assertive and adamant about my views.

it depends on my mood mainly!:) sometimes seeing a really wrong or opposite response or comment i just don't feel anything else but to correct that then and there. some other time i don't do it and correct the information on my own reply. there's nothing like guilt or what about this on my part!;) though for sure i do think a lot and check before adding my comments perhaps it could be that i was wrong in the end..:)

Well i do add comments on other people's comment if i agreed on what he says, or if i do have something that i wanna clear coz i am interested of some points that he/she said. But i never commented on anyone's discussions like im correcting them for some points though its not that bad anyway to correct someone on whatever they say as long as you do it in a nice way and all your intention is to correct something infavor of the other people to get a reliable source or ideas, and not to manipulate things or something like that.

I do respond to others comments on occasion. It's not anything I do frequently but every so often I do. I do correct incorrect information if it is something that can be right or wrong. I would not "correct" someones opinion though. That's just crazy.

I almost did that one minute ago, but I stopped because I felt it would begin a flame war. Anyway I usually do that but not to correct someone. Sometimes I do that to agree with that point of view or to add something.
