Do you give response to one line discussions..

As I have observed with little experience in Mylot that there are not many one discussion are posted in Mylot.But a few are there. If the one sentence discussion is a challenging or an enquiry or clarifiction I posted responses but my response used to be lengthy and clarificatory.I have also observed that some of my responses were deleted by notifiction from Mylot as the relevant iscussion was iself delete. I was under the impression that the discussion itslf was not in conformity with the rules of the site.It never occured to me that my response was deleted because it was response for single sentence discussion.Is it so? I have to be careful in future.For your information many one line discussions do not evoke any response since they look like statement of facts and not topics for discussion .From that angle also we need not post any resonse. Thank you for sharing.That is why it is stated before any discussion or response to be more clarifictory in your discussion or response.The reason given is that others can understan.you should always remember whether the other man has understood what you said and it is not what you said. The successful people are always those who make their point understood by others.

I don't think that all one liners get deleted or that all violate the guidelines, but yes the majority do. Most one liners aren't very discriptive or are poll type discussions such as what's your favorite toothpaste, crest or colgate. Explain. Even asking for an explanation doesn't make this a worthy discussion. Why? I think because most will only answer the initial discussion which one do you like better. So no I generally don't answer one line discussions, bit I also don't just answer based on how long or short the discussion is, but on the content. A lengthly discussion can get deleted for violating the guidelines also.

I don't like to give one line responses to discussions. How can your opinion be short that all there would be is one line to support your thoughts. i don't like to see responses given back that are one line for the same reason. You just need one more than one line to really express what is on your mind.

When you find out that the topic is interesting try to respond and say your thoughts!

if u've got enough mind,u can reply 2 them anurag

Yes, I have only because I can relate or it was very interesting :)

Yes, if the discussion is interesting. I will still give my response even if it is pretty short. Sometimes the length is not a problem. It depends on the point. On the contrary, sometimes I seldom will respond to very long discussions because I already feel so bored to read it. By the way, if the discussions are deleted by Mylot, usually it is not because of they are short. They are deleted because they broke the rules of Mylot, such as it is like a survey post. I love China

yeah maybe you are right, i just received a message from mylot informing that my respond had been deleted by them (moderator), the deleted comment was for simple discussion, a simple question and i think the moderator deleted the discussion. after this case i think i will not comment for a line question in an discussion

Hi there.:) I never really encountered discussion with just a single line.I doubt if the poster will ever convey her/his message by doing so. Normally, I'd prefer to respond to a discussion that I truly understand and sometimes this discussion is as long as a short story.LOL . But, after reading it, I don't feel any regrets in doing so.:) For a single line or a one liner discussion, I don't feel or think that I'd bother to post a response. It only means that the poster is just lazy and does not want to exert a little effort to really "discuss". So, NO. I wouldn't answer a single line.:(

Yes, i respond to one liner discussions. I like responding to them because i find it easier to respond to since it is very straight to the points. And I dont like to read so I would respond to few liners as much as possible.

i think i was able to answer to a one liner discussion before, but i could not remember if it was deleted, although i received incoming mails that there are some replies that had been deleted i did not check what is the topic.

I've done that a few times but I've always tried to give proper answers, so to speak (as in, even if the question is only one line, I try to post longer responses explaining my point and such)... but then again, you're right: if those discussions end up getting deleted by myLot I guess it'll end up affecting me negatively too, since my posts will get deleted and maybe even get a bad rating... so I'll keep that in mind and not reply to those one-line topics anymore. Thanks for the tip! :)
