Do you always respond to all comments?

Recently I have seen people making discussions apologizing for not responding to all comments, while it's true I do reply to the majority of the comments I get, there is some I do not, either I feel the comment is confusing, or off topic, or rude and I just choose to not comment, or sometimes I just don't feel like commenting I may just like the comment. Also sometimes it's hard to keep up with discussions so I am sure on accident I have missed some comments entirely.

I don't like it when myLot bunches people together for instances @ USER 1, @ USER 2, and ... (others) commented on your post. That is so annoying. And, its hard to reach back to all of them. I miss sometimes and its not purposely but I don't check back all my old posts either. And, sometimes if I can't relate I'd acknowledge with a like that I read it. Or, just because I don't have anything else to say I don't respond. Or like you mentioned - I don't feel like commenting at times too.

Glad i am not the only one who feels this way, and i agree with you about it being annoying when they bunch people together.

@chrissbergstrom The bunching is super annoying because I can't keep track of who I responded to and who I haven't. And we're obligated to respond back to who we want so that's fine if you don't get to them all. Some days we aren't in the mood either. But its understandable.

@infatuatedbby I generally will respond to anyone whom has a well thought out response, or is someone i genuinely like and interact with alot on here. But if someone comments something like "Oh that is cool" how do i respond to that? do i say "yep" or do i just like it and leave it at that.

It depends sometimes I have nothing to comment back on the response so instead of writing "thankyou" etc I keep them unattended.

I generally do try to respond to all comments. There may have been a few times when I haven't. But I do try to respond as much as possible.

As much as possible, I need to reply to mylotters' comments. They spend time reading and commenting on our posts.

Sometimes it is hard to catch up on others discussions when they are on at different times than you are on.

Yes but i am not talking about commenting on discussions of followers, i mean when someone comments on you're discussion, do you respond to all comments on you're discussions or is there some you may choose not to?

@chrissbergstrom I response to every comment on my discussions. I think sometimes I get busy and sign off and may forget to go back.

I do eply to most of the comments I receive for the most part, but then there are others, that only use emoji's as a comment, and there is nothing to say to those so I just leave them go. i always find something to say, as I feel that ust putting emojis to me, really isn't commenting. that is just my opinion though, as others might feel differnetly.

I try, but if I waited to catch up on all my notifications, I'd never be able to write a discussion. I know I have old discussions that I need to go back and reply to, but at the moment, I'm overwhelmed. Don't worry. Those who love us will forgive and forget, just as long as it doesn't happen too often.

I don't necessarily reply to every single comment on my discussions. I don't want to reply just for the same of commenting. If I have something to say or add in response to the comments I will reply; otherwise I don't. Hypothetically, I can reply to every single comment thanking people for commenting, but that would be spammy and annoying... so I don't do that.

Yes i agree, it gets repetitive when you are replying the same answer to every response

I think if we post a discussion, it is a kind of responsibility to comment on the responses. I agree that sometimes we don't get any thing suitable to comment back and that is fine. I don't like when people do not comment on my responses.

yes, i try to but after several days i notice it is not in my notification as to who responded .I try and get back to everyone when I see it. I just think it is rude not to, or give it a like., somethings you can't comment on. so you give the like.

I don't think it's rude to not comment, I find it more rude when someone comments for no reason without reading what the topic is even about....

I think I go about it in the same way as you... some people I always respond to, and some comments just inspire continued conversation, and some feel like the other person is just posting something to fill their comment quota. Plus I tend to have days long gaps between times that I get on here, so I may miss the odd comment or two.
