Do you listen to others if they tell you not to respond to a post?

Nope I'm a freelancer too- if I want to join the discussion whether or not I agree I do it!

I don't know that this happened. I think it's more likely that mylotters who do not like mylot, talk bad about mylot and promoting other sites. But to tell other mylotters not to respond to a certain person, I think that's weird. I did mention to my friends if I got rude responses, just so they can tell me what they think, because maybe they think it's not rude etc but I never tell them who to respond. I have a feeling I know which group you are talking about. Just a feeling. I won't be surprised if it's true. Thanks for sharing this!!

I don't really hang out on forums with those kinds of focus. There is an art forum I joined that is run by a member of mylot, but I haven't really seen talk about mylot there. I have seen others talking about mylot on social networking sites, but I got bored of it. :P There have been a few times when I've chosen not to talk to people because they were rude to my friends. However, it wasn't a situation where my friend asked me to do this, just where I decided I didn't want to have anything to do with someone who would be rude to my friends. I would act the same way offline if someone insulted or harmed someone I care about.

I guess it depends on the facts. Unlikely that I'd not respond and I wouldn't be offensive. I might be avoiding posts which could expload or invite comments which aren't really welcomed here. I wouldn't stop doing something though, just go about my posting really. ~Joey

Hi littlefranciscan! Oh, I never knew that such group exist here. But if ever a time will come that a fellow mylotter will ask me not to respond to a certain discussion, I don't think i will let myself be dictated. I would not only respond if I don't know anything about the topic or it is not really the kind of discussion I wanted to dwell on. I am supportive of my mylot friends but I don't think i want to create enemies or hurt anyone's feelings here. Just my thoughts my friend. take care and have a nice day. :)

Must say I haven't had that experience yet. Disagreeing with someones post, that can lead to better conversations. Longer conversations. That is beneficial for all. What a shame. Hope this is something that changes.Communication is a wonderful thing.

I did not know this was going on. What a bunch of drama queens. Be it as it may, I am very much my own person, not so chummy with other forum participants, just friendly and helpful where I can be. I would not participate in grade school actions like that. I get into discussions if they interest me. I think you do the same.

I cannot remember a time when I was asked or told not to respond to someone's discussion. I have seen where some people are having some problems, but as to why, I have no clue. I just stay by myself and have a "MyLotting good time" with just a few 'close' MyLot friends.

No. Mylot is my personal platform. I never allow anyone to interfere with it. I will decide what to post and where.

Well no, I find some discussions here wherein one starts a discussions about another mylot user who is like this and that. I read them but definitely I am not affected by it. I have one principle regarding my thoughts with a friend or other people... " I will judge you not on what you are to others... but on what you are to me."

That's an easy answer, I have a brain! lol I have my own opinions, suggestions, or comments. If I see a topic I'm interested in, or that sounds interesting, then I'll respond. Some might not agree with my opinion, or my ideas, and thats fine. Everyone does not think alike, and we don't have to agree with everyone.

lol...it looks like you found them! They have been around for quite awhile now and are very cliquey. They hide out on mylot as "nice" people but they really are not. It only goes to show how childish some people can be doesn't it?

I will not it's there right but why they do this what for can you tell me why for I don't listen I have my own mind if I think that is wrong doing why should I foolow therir advice what will I get from it Do I benifit for following them not to respond. Each everyone of us has it's understanding but I don't get it why they do that....

I havent noticed topics like that.Never have i seen reply where it said dont respond to this.Depending on mood and topic subject i would respond, if something is intriguing i reply, if not i choose other topics. I wouldnt mind to reply even if i was asked not to :)

Oh I didn't know anything like that was going on, I don't get that personal with anyone, I just plod along doing my own thing, I guess I am a freelancer...hahahahahaha

No, I do not. I respond to discussions that interest me, not just for people that others like. I do not play favorites and do not respond to discussions if I have nothing to contribute.

lol..just remove such people from your friendlist nd they never know when you post a discussion. I definitely wouldn't listen to anyone telling me not to respond to a post just because they don't like the person. I respond to discussions that I like and not because I like the person who has posted. Having said that, it's each person's choice as to who they wish to respond to or not respond to.

Actually I haven't experienced it yet. I know many people are friendly in Mylot. I don't think I will be affected by others. If I think I can respond to the discussions, I will do it anyway.

Hi littlefranciscan, I have not come across like this in mylot so far.Even if I come through one like that,I will call that as bondage and refuse to be their friend and I will start responding if the question is worth to respond. I am surprised when I read your posting.I have not expected a thing like groupism existing in networks.However,If you find a group like that,you must bring them to the notice of the administration and you should ensure that they are removed from the forum. We, as a part, has to do something beneficial to the Internet world and I swear I will do it. If you know such a group, please inform to the administration. Good Luck

I am my own person; no one tells me whose post to respond to. If they do, I don't accept them as my friend. I think no one should tell anyone on here where to post; anyone caught doing so should be banned!
