Will you skip on someone's response if he/she happens to skip yours?

Like he or she skipped your response then proceeded on the next response, leaving you the only one without a reply from the one who created the discussion. How would you feel? Will you do the same on him/her when he/she responds to your discussion? Don't look at me like that. I don't take things personal here. Lol!

LOL. Ok, no, I don't really pay attention to these things. I figure if I don't get a response from someone on a thread it's because A)They hadn't read it, B)They had nothing else to add and are going strictly by Mylot's don't add repetitive items, or C)They thought it sucked in which case I wouldn't want them to respond lol. I don't though go around looking for their responses on my threads to say "Oh, looky here, I won't respond" lol. I'm not that vindictive. I tend to try to respond to everyone that responds to mine. Though, I admit, I didn't know about the email thing early on and wasn't being updated when someone responded. I was having to go back through threads and that became time consuming as not everyone posts at once. Now, I get email updates so I try to respond.

Yeah, I feel it's kind of immature if we react that way. The notifications do help a lot actually

I don't feel like responding on this post because this is a potential BR lol! Just kidding anora! The three points you mention could really be the reasons why they don't respond.

I don't take any notice unless it happened to me repeatedly, then I may just think the person doesn't like what I have to say here! I think it would be childish to "get back" at someone especially when you didn't even know the reason your response was missed. I think we should be less sensitive and get on with it.

i agree with you, paula, that it is best to just leave it at that. most probably, the person just simply cannot think of anything to say when he came across your response as it has been posted. since we are in a community wherein most of us has no idea who it is really we are dealing with, it is best that we are not at all sensitive to this degree. our sensitivity must be limited to reading discussions or posting some of our own, posting responses and making appropriate comments.

i saw that once... for that happened to me already. it left me wondering why. but i ignored it. i went back to what i am doing... responding and commenting and minding my own mylot life. after two days when i opened my email i saw a best response was granted to me. when i checked it out it was from the member who does not gave any comment and instead she gave me a best response.

Nah, why should I do that? If he / she wants to do that it has totally nothing to do with me? I'll just respond as usual - look at the big picture as every response counts? Haha

Haha! That's also my take. As long as i got my cents for my response, then he/she can do anything he/she wanted with other responses.

If it only happened once in a while, I would just assume it was an oversite. It really wouldn't bother me too much. I make a real effort to respond to discussions started by friends, at least the ones that I have something to say about. On the rare occasions when I start a discussion, it does bother me when I don't get any responses from these same friends.

Nope you are a real sweetheart! I try to respond to most of your discussions, except for the ones where I have to go sit near the air conditioner. Then I'm too far away to reach the computer...lol. And you haven't skipped out yet, as far as replying. I don't think you've ever responded to my discussions though. Hmmmmm...is that why you asked if Tukay bites? How is dear little Moochie tonight? Does he ever bite, or does he just nibble around the edges? Mmwah

Honestly, it does bother me but it doesn't mean that I will do the same because of that. Sometimes, I do skip but definitely not for that reason. I'm not the eye-for-an-eye type of person.

You're just a fight fire with fire type of person huh? Lol! For now i've been skipping a lot because my phone is pretty slow and i won't be getting my number of responses if i concentrate on one discussion.

Hi friend! I say ,its not vengeance kind of thing here on my lot.Since you get paid for your work so keep on doing that.If someone doesn't respond your discussion ,it means it didn't draw that much attention of his/her.If your topic is worthwhile then people will reply to it,don't worry. Even if someone doesn't reply though the content is good ,its their loss not yours.he himself will not get anything out of it.Someone else will reply to it.

No I would not. Actually, I'm sure it happens all the time and to be honest, I don't even notice. There are just too many discussions on here to pay attention to that stuff. It's too much brain exercise to keep up with all that data.

I will not skip someone else response if he/she happened to skip mine.I know i will get paid for my response.Also i have a chance of getting best response and positive ratings for the discussion.I can also make new friends that way in mylot.I too don't take things personal here if a person never comments to my discussion.

Yes, sometime I do skip but rarely. I do so when I see that the response is totally irrelevant to the context. Or else I regularly comment back.

That's true. There are responses that are just totally out of this world.

lol Heavens no! I do realise that it is difficult to reply to each and every message, I have also noticed that sometimes when you sign off for the day and log back in the next day and there are lots of messages piled up, it is very likely that you miss the last one in the previous page due to oversight. I don't think anyone would deliberately not reply to someone's message. And there is no need for holding a grudge against them in mylot It can get really difficult to reply to each and every message. Yesterday, I browsed through tons of unresolved messages and handed best responses to people who deserved. Some posts were a month old lol. Have a nice day!

I still have a lot of unresolved discussions. Responses are just too good making it harder for me to choose.

Well It really depends on the condition also when there are many response to some of your discussions it might happen that you don't have time to do that. I never think in that way, you should have attitude towards life. If you will do such things then it will spread only anger. Why do such thing, it is better to keep positive attitude and keep on responding to those discussions whom you can? Time and tide waits for none. Everyday you start some discussions and reply to some discussions it is difficult to remember each and every activity you do over here.

Yes, i'm only on the start of page 2 of this discussion and i'm now feeling a little bit exhausted. I'm going to take it slow for awhile.

Nope, never really looked at it that way. If I have something to say, then I would make a reply. It never comes to my mind that the person I skipped replying to will be offended. I only reply if I really have something to say. I do not even post replies because this person has posted some replies on my discussions. If I have anything good to share, I do it, regardless whether he or she has made replies on on my discussions.

When I go for posting my response, it hardly matters whether the host of the discussion posts his/her responses to my discussions, it is her/his sweet will. I post my responses to discussions, when I like those discussions and wish to contribute something substantial.

Hello modstar, No, I won't. I won't do the same thing like she did to me. Maybe she has the reason for that. Just think positive. I am always here to respond and very seldom to post a discussion. I have many to share here but have limited time to spend too much on mylot. So, whenever I received a notification, I will check the discussion and respond if I can. But one thing for sure, if someone filing up my inbox with tonnes of discussions and never think of reading the responses (I think...) I will just skip that person' s discussion.

No, i would not do this. It seems that someone has paid attention to the discussion you started if he responses in the discussion, it is good manner for the starter to response, but actually the starter maybe does not has so much time to response everyone who put response in the discussion. So if i find some starter have not response to my response(actually i have not yet pay attention to this issue), i would think that my response is just so common and even does not deserve any response, i should try to improve its quality next time.

hhmmm., im not that type but sometimes i skip other responses on my discussions if i dont have enough time to comment on them back. i dont make grudges and hatred to my mylot friends. but sometimes i always end up asking why arent there are a little amount of my friends in mylot who responded on my discussions? i know i dont make those nice and great discussions but i hope that we helped each other out to reach all our goals. thanks friend!
