Hi All, I have been searching if there was any way I could be kept away from your discussions and unfortunately there is none. So I have thought of this - If you have any problem on my hopping on to your discussion and / comment and DO NOT want me to Interact with you, then Please PM me just 3 Alphabets anywhere in the subject or the content of the IM - DND - and I will never pop on your discussion or comment. I am pained to see you wasting time and also your seniority/image (I know to some it matters a hell lot) when you type out all that CRAP against me or someone whom you dont want to interact and it makes no sense, me explaining my part and you not responding to it... So it is plain waste of time. Let us Save our time for other good things at MyLot or Anywhere. And also neither of us would budge. So better to stay way away peacefully and happily.

Hi Thesids, Obviously someone was really mean to you. I don't get it. I've never ever seen you be anything but polite and you add to the discussions. Whoever it is, just ignore them. I'm sure that a majority of us are not going to be sending you those 3 little letters.

I've had it happen a couple of times where it completely takes me off guard and no idea why or what prompted it. It's not a good feeling. Maybe the person was just having a bad day. Any chance that you could have misunderstood his/her words??

Hi sid, thanks for your consoling words and yes, I hope that I do not get any of that kind of messages on responses... I can handle things no doubt but at times they come as not that sweet surprises and it was one such moment here

If I ever misinterpreted, I would never have put this discussion... on that response too I mentioned that this came as a shock to me because you my dear friend could have told me this thing the very first time you felt bad... I know how painful it would have been for that person - tolerating me for all so very long

Hello Sid, First you tell me what made you to write these words. Who hurts you badly? See barking and biting is a part of mylotting and we can’t expect politeness from everybody. I have been interacting with you for the last two months and what I felt about you is a positive guy with lots of care and love for the family members. I really don’t know what is forcing you to think like this way. Hope nothing is serious and this is just a ‘note’ for your family members.

Ok now I got it, that particular issue still haunts you and I felt it is unnecessary. As you responded me happily I thought that issue is not bugging you. Please forget about it.

Hi Sree, You know what it is about but I am not concerned of one person. I am worried about those who join me or I join them, also those on whose posts I post or respond. The incident just gave me a hint that this can be a possibility with others too and going by this, I think, I should not let them wait for long to vent out... A pain in the heart kept for long is not good for anyone and so is the fact that ranting out your emotions on a response will not do good for anyone involved. It is just for a healthier and stronger MyLot Family

Oh Boy.....what is happening while I'm gone??? Of course, NOONE can tell you to keep away from any discussion in myLot. If your comments or responses are against the guidelines, admins will delete it/them. Anyway thesids, you are always welcome to pop in and do whatever you want in my discussions. You want to dance naked on the table, be my guess. Oops, that might actually be considered indecent by other members....you got the drift anyway...

Hello thesids, I'm sure this discussion has some addressee well known to you, and I think (hope? ) I'm not one of them, but if you have any problem on my hopping on to your discussion and / comment and DO NOT want me to Interact with you, then Please PM me. I can't wait to find an interesting topic to start (it doesn't happen too often to me, you know...) to see if there is anything that will keep you away from my discussions.

Hello my friend! What happened?! I'm not used to seeing or hearing you like this. I never thought this could happen to you or anyone in mylot. I know we are here to have discussions and interact to it so how come one doesn't want you to participate in a discussion? You said he is not responding..maybe he/she hasn't read it yet that's why there's no response. You can pm him/her my friend and tell him/her your true feelings about it. I suggest don't let yourself be bothered by just one mylotter who happens to make you feel this way. You have a lot of friends Sids and those friends are always here with you,that includes me. Hope this will be resolved soon.

Hi mtr, you are right and I am not bothered by the action of One friend of mine who did this. Instead I am thankful to that friend... In fact if this was not done and under covers, I would have never realized that my responses could be taken negatively too as I never do that intentionally... So I found a way out - the DND idea. Better to be watchful and careful And yes, I know (and am still confident) many of my friends will not mind me dropping on their discussions and speaking my heart out and you are one of them

@Sids..good to hear that my friend! @Vidh..I do understand why our friend felt that way,it's really our first intuition to react like that,I too sometimes feel that way but after a few minutes,I make a positive reason why it has to happen that way,it makes the problem lighter when you thought of something good about it. This is what my hubby always tells me,I shouldn't think of some bad reasons instead,think of some positive possibilities why it went that way. In this manner,we wont feel that bad of anything and it really works! Happy to know that you're in the same sort. See yah Vidh!

thesids, Well, just to let you know that you aren't the only one that receives such insensitive and discriminating remarks and it is from someone of 'seniority' too. It is a shame that we have such senior members, but myLot is a free societal site - so do expect some rotten apples in the barrel. I had comments like: "Skysuccess, I would appreciate that you do not respond to my discussions....blah blah blah" before, so what's new at your end? Look, I see you've come out unscathed where your DRS is still at top optimum and still able to post and respond as you want. So, I say leave this idiots in their village and remember not to go a visit in the future. As for the ADMIN, I wonder if we could put up a roster like a "Shame Roll" for such members so that others can read and see what kinda person such members are. And, that they be penalized with a DRS reduction (-2)! What do you think?
• Singapore
11 Feb 11
thesids, I am sorry but from what you had posted, I am baffled that you could still regard this person to be a friend. Well, as the ADMIN had responded below me, no one has the right to do such a thing and to come from a senior member is simply unacceptable. I'd say do the right thing here for the better good of this site and most of all, for everybody. Have a nice day.

Hi Skysuccess, I think it is a thing between friends and there is no requirement of the admin here... Yes, it might be against the rules but I will not want to further complicate the matters as again... it is between friends and may be the friend didnt want to say the thing or even if s/he did, she did it out of being in real pain We are all humans at end and we all do have emotions so I think it should not be that big an issue to bother anyone including the admin... I could have marked the response and called in for Admin but that is being too harsh.

Hi skysuccess, I believe this "social network" which has its Identity as MyLot is a kind of family and we are all its family members. Now I know many never accept my version but still I would say it here again - Just as in real world and family, we have friends and relations, here too I see the same thing... Just as in real world, sometimes, there are misunderstandings between relations, here too we have that kind of thing. And in the real world, we have to sort out our own differences and we cannot run to our guardians all the time, here too the same thing. So I am just believing and living upto that and I am hopeful that the friend would realize and return back and sooner or later, these things will be fine. [it is just my belief and my interpretation of how I look at it]

You have got to be joking? Whoever told you this doesn't realise that it will be their loss and not yours. You don't need friends like that at all. I'm sure it won't be difficult for you to find other topics to participate in and skip theirs and they will soon miss you - but never go back even if they offer an apology

Hang on a minute! All discussions are open to everyone and anyone and no-one has the right to tell anyone else not to go to their topics. But you can make that choice and in that way the person concerned will be losing earning potential - because you always comment and give others a chance to add a bit more. Move on! There are many other friends who will be sooo happy to have you on theirs!

Hi mysdianait I wished I was joking but... Maybe you are right and I will skip the discussions from this person as I know I already have been giving this person a lot of pain over the last so many days... and I am not here for giving pains to anyone. I dont want that person or anyone to apologize to me as I know that each and everyone here at MyLot has a right to this and I respect that fact... so no apologies. I respect the rules, rights and the fact that we all have an opinion and a way to implement them.

i was just thinking of starting a similar kind of discussion today i replied to a discusiion on how to lose weight. i typed a long text, longer than what i usually would and added a few useful links connected to the topic. the person who started the discussion replied to everyone other than me. Also the responses were around 20, and mine was in the first page!??? how rude is that now!?? did you face a similar situation thesids!??

Oh dear... You would have surely got me wrong then if it was on my discussion. Because what I do when I get a long response, is that I respond to the smaller ones and then return back to the longer ones as I am lazy and add impatient to it. You can also check out my discussions to see that I respond in an unpredictable fashion many a times Maybe the starter here is my kind and if this is true, you would surely get a response to that post. I understand your point here though. So my suggestion would be to re-check for the response tomorrow. Here the case is different and I would have been happy if the person did not respond

From the two Anger emoticons to the more pleasant ha ha and the happy and lol ones... I love the change in your mood dear someone is upset about the way I responded and that confused me... because I respond that way... 98% of my responses are that way... Now as normal me, I started thinking, if this friend could think this way, there might be many more thinking this way... so is my way of commenting or responding wrong? I have sufficient voices favoring me and that helps me decide to continue the way I respond

I never feel such like that because purpose is different and i am the one what i treat them is important and not others treat me. So no such question will arise. Be happy anna with whatever we have and whatever we are doing since we do good, don't bother about others negative attitude. Have a good day.

Hmmm...looks like someone's really upset with you and you are upset with them. Anyway I'm not going to be the one sending you a PM. I usually try to respond/comment to everyone who responds to my discussions. But sometimes, some people are rude and if I've seen that that's the way they are with everyone, I might choose to be silent and ignore. But yes, it is difficult to take a lot of nonsense when it is directed at me.

Are you having problems with trolls? A troll is a person who instead of calmly tell you they Strongly disagree and just avoid your posts, they go to all your posts and say bad things and try to get your star to go down. It is a waste of their time but I guess they seem to enjoy it. I love your idea of just getting a list so you never drop in on their posts. But if they won't do this , and you get More grief. Just report them. This is a forum for people , not a playground for trolls.

It is so easy to talk to a friend! But I must confess I have deleted a friend because he would not listen to me when I told him the truth. Once I realized that he wasn't gping to listen, I deleted him and I didn't look back.

Hi Behen No, it is not the troll thing. It was just a single discussion where this friend hinted that s/he did not appreciate the way I comment and such things... I realize that it might also be a case with a few others too... so I thought to have it discussed and convey my message - that if anyone didnt like my comments, maybe s/he can tell me via PM instead of spreading it out in public which could hurt both or all involved

If you don't want that particular person to respond to your discussion just remove him from your friend's list so he won't get notifications of your discussions. But as I have seen in past your discussion are seen many times in today's top discussions so he might access it from there also.

Honey, chaingang, pop-in, take over and run with my discussions anytime sweetie, I have no issues with anyone participating in my discussions at all. This is why we are all here. If anyone does not like it then they should not be a member of myLot, as the idea is to discuss.. so why does anyone get upset about that.

Exactly and for me it makes it much more entertaining and engaging when members go up and down the comment boxes and add more content. Makes the discussion that much more interesting.
