running around leaving abuse all day

ok this is a rant. i still don't get why running around leaving abusive comments all over the place qualifies you as 'mature' or 'intelligent' or indeed 'wise'. if you want to act like a six year old, fine. you are going to look even more silly though if you then accuse other people of being childish. i am not talking about trolls, they have decided on their obnoxious image and at least have the integrity to stick to it. i am talking about people who can't decide whether they are the horrible brat or the condescending teacher. you get them online and in real life, people who can't decide whether to be obnoxiously childish, or obnoxiously patronising. have you come across any like this? and how do you deal with them?

hey Im right here ya know. I heard every word you said. Actually JB, I have noticed this ALOT lately and have been trying not to jump into it. I try ignoring the people that are acting like this. If I have been doing this, I apologize. Because we all know that I am the greatest here.....

ok. third. and the answer to your question is yes. you have to be faster in leaving all your pointless rude remarks that i have never seen. the reason for this is that the admin need exercise and they will have to run after you, deleting your comments, faster

Five Gold Rings The first Five Books of the Old Testament, known as the Torah or the Pentateuch: 1) Genesis, 2) Exodus, 3) Leviticus, 4) Numbers, and 5) Deuteronomy, which gives the history of humanity's sinful failure and God's response of grace in the creation of a people to be a light to the world. cynthiann continues singing lustily yes lustily: 4 Calling Birds, 3 French Hens, 2 Turtle Doves and a Partridge in a Pear Tree I guess that you may be thinking that I am childish. Yep am childish but never obnoxious

On the 6th day of Christmas my true love gave to me... Six Geese A-laying The six days of creation that confesses God as Creator and Sustainer of the world (Genesis 1). CONTINUES SINGING BUT NOT SO LUSTILY: 5 gold rings, 4 calling birds, 3 French hens, 2 turtle dove and (sing all together now) A Partridge in a Pear Tree Thinks: It really takes so little to make me feel needed and happy. I actually feel that I could pet the bunny

hi jb yes a few years back someone with no guts to talk to me on line face to face tagged a discussion of min with old whiney hag, now old okay I agree I am aged but whiney and hag no, that was pure insulting so I did cpmplain to my lot and shortly after that they made a ruling that unkind or obscene tags would get the tagger in big trouble. they removed those from my discussion.I have not come across too many of them but one made her responses to me so mean and insulting that my friemds all reported her and her responses were deleted. For a while there was run of people just being down right rude and patroninzing in their responses and trying to get them to quit did no good. So it was best just to report the insults and flaming and leave it up to mylot as to what to do.I tried fighting back and oh my then we had a he said, she said feud with my friends backing me and his friends backing him, and finallyt allour remarks and the discussion were deleted and I for one was really glad as I hate that kind of bickering; that belongs on a grade school play groud not in mylot. I should have just reported my own gettinginsulted and let it go.

what a nasty thing to do. being abusive to people online is cowardly enough but doing it through troll tagging is just ridiculous.

I usually try to ignore them as best as I can but there comes a point but I get fed up and inevitably start fighting fire with fire I have found in most cases that if you throw it right back at them they no longer want to deal with you they cant stand a challenge LOL

Hi jb, I{m afraid sometimes I{m a brat (and a 65 year old brat at that!) and sometimes I play the ol{ witch knows all role.. I haven{t been able to really deal with this. When I wake up nice, I accept me as I am. The rest of the days I try not to look at myself in a mirror. I have seen some mylotters here that make me mad. I like them less than how I like myself in the bad days. I usually prefer the brats to the teachers (maybe it is because I tend to be more the teacher nowadays). Take care!

Thanks luv. In this momentI feel a desperate need to kill the prson who "fixed" my computer. You do not know how many things are gone forever. I think that I am in need of BOTH meditation and medication right now, plus poison to put in his coffee, if I get near him.
@jb78000 (15139)

i'll kick him for you. rabbits kick hard. in the meantime have a nice cup of coffee, and a bun.

i don't think you are either a brat or an old witch. nobody is nice all the time, well very few people and they probably resort to either medication or meditation, but that doesn't make you horrible.

I am new here, but I have dealt with immature human behavior at many levels. I have not read responses to your posts, but reading the "terms" for this site, this behavior doesn't belong on this forum. Actually, it doesn't belong any place in my opinion. I would report them if you haven't already done so. Just my 2 cents. :)

i agree with you and i do report abuse. mylot seems quite well moderated and stuff like this does get removed quickly, although those that leave it aren't.

I have not run across too many of them. I may have one on my friend list right now. I just ignore them, mostly. If they are truly abusive, I report them. Of course I will also remove them from my friend list if they are truly obnoxious. I do not accept that treatment in real life or online.

reporting is probably the best thing to do. it is tempting to jump in, but that just means you'll get called names. in real life it is trickier.

Have managed to avoid and ignore for the most part, though occasionally that's not possible...
