How do you handle....

Responses to your discussions? I think sometimes people respond with just a word or two and if I'm looking for help that surely doesn't help me. Other times the responses are so long that I don't read the whole thing. There are discussions from everything from health to pets and if I get a response that I don't like or that I think will cause a problem I just take it with a grain of salt and move on to another discussion. How do you handle responses that you get? Do you take them to heart, with a grain of salt or disregard them and say nothing?

Yes I read their responses before making a reply. Cause I'm interested to what they are trying to tell me. Sometimes I take it to my heart especially when I feel its true to me.

I read all their responses. It's their opinion so if I don't like their opinions, I still respect their thoughts. I am thankful that they still took part in my discussion. There are times that we have different point of views. We have our own beliefs. We can't change theirs and they can't change ours. Thanks for sharing and happy mylotting.

Lately, whatever the response I get, whether short, long, nonsensical, antagonistic, well, I acknowledge them all. And when I get a one-liner response or a one or two-worder, I still reply to them, and even attempt to make them elaborate further on what they said. This is after all a discussion, and I think when we reply once (or not reply at all), then it wouldn't be a discussion.

It depends who it is and what they are saying...If they always respond with rude responses then I know to ignore them mostly. But if it is someone I respect and think they will give me the truth then yes I will take it to heart. =) I read and respond to all responses I get as long as I understand what they are saying...

Hi ctrynny! Starting a good discussion is a big challenge for us. We have to create a topic that would make a good impact on our fellow members in order to create a good discussion. This is where our knowledge and abilities would come in. But when our fellow members made their reply, I could say, this is an even greater challenge. This will show how you will handle the different ideas coming from different people who might have different understanding of the topic. So, we should be ready for that. Personally, I would say that I spent more time replying to my own discussion, when I started one, than making responses to others discussion. But I love it. Even if sometimes, I have a hard time understanding what others want to imply, I am still happy because they choose to become part of the discussion which I started. Have a nice day!

I`m really happy if someone replied or response in my post or discussion whether with sense or nonsense,, it only means that they devote their time and effort to response..

I appreciate others coming to my discussions and sharing their point of views. Even though some may have missed the points of my discussion and given out of topic response I would not penalize them as i consider mylot is a social networking site and I view interaction is important for bonding friendships online. I don't expect everyone to hit the bulls eye with their responses. I enjoy being in mylot simply because of the many humorous responses that tickled me to no end and of course the camaraderie that we share here.

i take every response i get seriously. though i dont face the writer of that response but i respect him/her. i.know that what they expect money for their responses but by giving response to our discussion it implies that they are interested in our discusssion and want to take a part in it. even some if them are very useful for me. all people here are very kind. they never get angry, write something politely and never say something rude. and some of them really have something useful to share. so i try to always respond back to every response i get. maybe it takes days but i try my best. they respect me and i want to respect them.
