What attracts you to a discussion?

I don't mind long ones, to a point, especially if it's broken down into paragraphs. I don't have the patience to read through a long one that's one huge paragraph though. Yep I wonder too. Sometimes I get one going that I think is really cool and I end up having to PM a friend to respond to it so that I can at least give a best response. Other times I think "well this isn't really all that brilliant but what the heck" and it gets a huge response!

Yes but then we'd also know what all the answers were!

If only we were mind readers! we could make a awesome discussion!

Just whatever catches your eye?

hehehe something like that i guess

sometimes I do sometimes I don't when it comes to similar discussions, depends on how much I have to say about it!

I have seen a few that didn't make sense to me. Usually that's because the English isn't good.

I'm self centered and egotistical. I look at the ones that I started first. lol

Me too, but again some people's discussions always get my attention regardless of the topic!

Me too pretty much!

What about me? Well there are certain people I try to visit all the time because their discussions are always interesting. Even if they're not a new, never before heard of topic, they're interesting or funny or something. They have personality. Then there are topics that I will jump all over, like anything to do with cats, shows I like, autism, fibromyalgia, etc. I am very much beginning to avoid repetitive discussions. Maybe the person who's posting it doesn't realize it's been done 100 times before because they're new, but if I've said my piece on the subject (and often more than once), I'm not interested any more.

I didn't know they deleted discussions that were asked before. I've seen a lot of deleted discussions but not for that reason. Usually it's because it's a poll or a word game, or it's about your MyLot earnings, star or number of posts, or it's just a short meaningless thing that's either asking a yes/no question or making some kind of a smart remark.

yep - very!

Yep it's hard, you have to go back through them one by one pretty much. And no guarantee that there was a reply to your reply.

It's harder when you don't get e-mail notifications. But I actually turned mine off, they were flooding my inbox. Couldn't keep up with them.

Thats true but i'm talking about when someone starts a discussion..you answer and then get no notifys about that..so you don't know who left you a funny comment or what till you remember which discussions you were at an now its to late..phewwwwww..lol..

Generally if I don't know anything at all about a topic I won't reply. Other than that, almost anything is fair game unless I've seen it over and over and over again.

Meaning you read them but don't always respond?

Especially if it's asking a yes/no question. Those are probably going to be deleted anyway...

Well thank you. I really didn't think this one would do so well, but surprise! :-)

Sometimes I like questions that require me to think hard but not always. Depends on the topic.

Well honestly I have responded to a few discussions where I have no clue about them. But when I do that, it's usually to ask a question.

I don't go to the hot topics so much myself unless I have something new to add. If they're on 'hot' or 'top' usually there are already so many responses that I have nothing to add.

I guess that's a good policy!

Although some people put trick titles up there, but yeah usually you can tell.

Naturally it's easy to talk about topics that you love.
