7 discussions started by me on Thursday and I got a decent amount of resposes as opposed to earlier when I was lucky to get 5 in erach. And all 7 are still on the board today as well. Wooo Hooo! I had been losing discussions etc so left for a coup[le months. Now seems I may be safe from some unfair practices and freinds etc. Hopefully anyhow. Have you ever been afraid to speak your mind in responses or starting discussions here due to trolls etc?
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

Hi Bob is good to see you back. In answer to your question I'm always leary these days and pretty much just stick with responding to friend's discussions that I know but even with that your not safe from the powers of myLot trolls. I don't so much think about posting discussions because that's just oh well if it gets deleted (before people respond much at least - then I would feel bad for the good people who responded and the time they took.

I had always been safe ion my discussions,
response, and comments etc.
But yet I was still attacked.
Now I shall see how long that
lasts this time around.
Thanks also.

I would love to know who is doing it - give them a taste of their own medicine. I know I wasn't able to be online for a long period of time and when I came back noticed I was nearing the 6000 post mark - a week later I was down almost 100 points but couldn't for the life of me figure out where they went. Got me a little down but figured wasn't worth my time to try to figure it out - just started heading for that goal again.

Glad to hear it, Grandpa Bob. I've had problems with trolls, and seen my reputation and earnings suffer, but I won't let them stop me giving my honest opinion. I've also trimmed down my friends list. Why do people ask to be friends and then follow your discussions, giving negative ratings and reporting? I don't understand it. I would only do that if people were violating guidelines, not just because someone disagreed with me, or didn't share my opinion. Oh well, the majority of the Mylot community are nice, knowledgeable people, so it's worth hanging in there. Welcome back.

Who knows what lurks in the minds of trolls.
They don't earn for the ratings etc I think.

Shhhhhhhhhh! Don't tempt fate, just keep on Mylotting in your usual way, Grandpa Bob. We wouldn't want the wind carrying your jubilation to the ears of those who relish in doing you down, now, would we?
I'm glad to hear you're a little happier with things at the moment, anyway. You were missed, my friend. Brightest Blessings Always.

Luckily I have not attracted any trolls except for one who copied my avatar and username for a brief time. I ignore trolls and I recommend others do too but I get ignored. Some people rant at and abuse them and thereby give them power and probably sabotage the discussion too.
Troll and other nasty people should be totally ignored and reported. Nothing else, nada, zip, zilch! But NO, some users have to get into it with them and to me that makes them just as bad.
I'm glad all your discussions stayed put ...but they should do anyway as they are all innocents accounts of your garden.

yes, I have been afraid to speak my mind in responses and discussions for fear it would be taken down. I am glad the trolls are leaving you alone. I never understood why they bothered in the first place.......................jealousy maybe?

Welcome Back!!! I sure did miss you!!! And I'm glad it's looking better for you too, I want you to stay!!!
I have found that sometimes in myLot-land, it's best to not speak your mind if you're thinking it's going to bungle up your whole process.

That is great to hear. I try my best to respond to all of my friends daily. I missed seeing you around here for a while. I used to get so mad and disgusted also when my discussions got deleted for whatever reason. I do not like trolls either. They will not run me away anymore though. It is good to see you back with us.

no,i don't have a problem with it.
some discussions though i avoid like the plague.
any board i'd ever been on,the top three-religion,abortion and politics
always start fights eventually.
i've got better things to do than argue all day.

Maybe the cretins have become bored and moved on to someone else!
I've never been afraid to speak my mind. I figured if the trolls began attacking, at least that takes their tiny minds off someone else. And after all, it's only the internet and it's not like they can reach through the screen and smack me!
Have you received your June payout? I haven't. That's really strange, never happened before that I know of.

I haven't run into any trolls personally. Good for you to have come through yesterday unscathed. Hope this means you'll hang in there a bit longer.

Good for you! Glad its coming back around for you. I haven't been afraid to speak my mind....in responses or discussions.....but have once in a while hoped that I haven't offended someone.....I don't think I have ran into trolls yet....but a few snotty people once in a great while....or someone that thinks they are being funny...

Hi GRANDPA BOB,
I know its disgusting what the trolls are doing but for me I am not afraid of them and if i sotp coming here, then the trolls have won, I won't let them beat me and you shouldn't either, they are just cowards, and if its keep happening I would wtite to admin about it because many mylotters who has been here for a long time have moved somewhere else and I miss them.
