Do you ever get the impression that...

LOL Thank you for your response! Yep, I've see that around also, where the subject line will be something and then there will be someone in there somewhere ranting about something that has absolutely nothing to do with the body of the discussion! LOL Yep, it is kinda funny, but sometimes assumptions can be embarassing or whatever, especially when you didn't realize you were putting out a certain vibe. Oh yea, I know what you mean, I try to read as much of a discussion as I can, and eventually all of it if I started it. But I think the key is to read what the starter wrote and make your response out of what you take from that. And for commenting to people who wrote to me I try to make it relevant and in context, and I try not to read between the lines, because once that happens, people tend to jump to conclusions, that aren't always true. LOL

Oh, I agree, there are times when it's just misunderstood context, and there is laziness and not wanting to read it all and just commenting off the cuff. Me, if I respond to something I have read it all, so I can give a valid comment or response. If I am in a mood where I don't want to read that much, I usually skip it or come back later! Oh, LOL If you think your response is long you should see some of my responses, I am like the queen of long responses when I get on a topic or discussion that I know a lot about or just something that really catches my attention. Anyway, thank you for your response. It was great to read your thoughts on this.

mommyboo- yea, I really like to try to keep up with responses. I may not always comment on everyone in the discussion, but I definitely try to choose a good amount of people to comment to, since they went to the trouble to reply to me! But I do read every one of the responses I get, otherwise I wouldn't start the discussions! LOL I mean, if I was starting them for the money I would just stick with responding, because I make just as much when I respond to a lot than when I start discussions. That is why I only start them when something really gets to me, or I think of something when I'm looking at my interests listings! And that's great that you make long responses! I love to read responses! I sometimes even read long responses to other people's discussions, when I'm really in the mood to read, other times I just put in my 0.02, give some plus ratings and go on my way. :)

Hehehe... I like to see back and forth in comments, which is why I mentioned in somebody's gripe about people who start 12 threads and never come back to any of them I pointed out that I wish you could know when somebody at least read your response if they aren't going to comment. I for one like your long responses, Grey, I make some myself

Thanks for the thought,but I'm still shaking my head over that response!

OMG.. that is crazy, when will people learn? Seriously. LOL If I knew of any sites I would certainly have told you, but there are only like 3 places I've used probably what you are talking about with, and they are known, so it probably wouldn't be very helpful. LOL

I think you're taking this whole thing too personal. I would have spoken against anyone, not just you, who gets everyone all excited and tries to spread a cute little story that sounds good but just isn't true. I don't understand your math. I only replied to two of your discussions. I was going to leave it at one, but after that one you searched out my discussions and told me they were too childish for you. Thinking I might learn something, I figured I would see what kind of adult discussions you were having that were above my childish ways. The reply to your deep, life changing discussion about MyLot star ratings was my second and last, until now, reply to a discussion of yours.

Actually, I've still only replied to two of your discussions. This one isn't yours.

aww.. Well it's great that you learned from that experience. I know humans make mistakes, so I really wouldn't totally be annoyed, it's just the people who repeatedly keep doing whatever it is, like not reading it very good.

That is something that I try to do. Maybe other will too. Have a good one.

LOL People are so funny! That's a good example of what I mean though, obviously people who do that are either no comprehending the discussion or they are just skimming and hit upon something that pops out to them and saying "oh, this is about ...." LOL

i cant complain too much because i have been having really bad concentration probs and long post are KILLING me as far as comprehending it and i know im prob doing the same thing lol.. so right now im staying away from long post till i get a few brain cells connecting lol

thanks for the br

OMG.. WOW! Talk about jumping to conclusions! LOL Some people definitely react WAY too quickly! If I read something that I found offensive, I would read over it several times before even thinking of saying something about it, and even then, I wouldn't jump down a persons' throat! WOW! Thank you for your story! People never fail to amaze me. LOL

Oh wow, I don't know what I'd think if I got an answer that wasn't written in English! I mean, I took a few weeks of German in college, but all I know of that even is some numbers and a few simple words! I agree, if someone can read English I would think they could respond in English. Ahh.. yea, sometimes one liners are fine, and sometimes discussions can't be stretched to much more than one line, but when even that one line makes no sense I'll just be like no matter how many times I read it! LOL

LOL OMG.. that is crazy, talk about not being able to make up his mind. haha Yep! I love Grey's Anatomy! When I first joined I had just really started getting into it, hense the name! LOL Now I kinda wish I had used one of my usualy screen names, just because it's really hard to get used to seeing this one. (I didn't really get active till last month! LOL) But yep! I LOVE Grey's Anatomy, and I'm dying for the new season to start!

First of all, welcome to MyLot! And I am glad that you say that, actually just reading the whole thing that the discussion creator wrote was what I was getting at, I typically respond without reading everyone's responses, because I know I like to hear from all different viewpoints, so I like to return that to other users. But I do thouroughly read the whole discussion the creator wrote so I don't start writing something completely irrevelant. Again, welcome!
