Now some of us are really trying hard to post educated response..but many here do not have English as their native tongue but still have the right to be here; as long as they write in English.. Just because the topic may not interest someone doesn't mean it might not interest someone else? If people are not happy shouldnt you just leave.. I love MYLOT and the people I meet here.. I work a full time job during the day and dont get to sit hee and chatter here as much as I like; but I do enjoy most everyone here..except for those who complain .. They say the door swings both ways..you can go out ..just as easily as you come in!!!!!

That is very true! I agree with you. English is not my native language as well, and lately I found some discussions about complaining grammar in our post. Frankly, I feel offended. We're not native speakers, maybe our grammar is not that good. But why complaining? I think little mistake in grammar here and there wont cause probs as longs as people understand one another. Another complain is about people only response to simple topics. Well actually I dont like topic they call "good discussion" with people's personal problems in it. It's getting too many, and yes, it's boring! I have a full time job as well and I come here to relax. Seeing people complaining in today's top discussions really annoys me. I agree with you, I'll vote this discussion a plus!

This is not college or grade school..Mylot has not appointed teachers to smack children with rulers who use improper English..but some have assumed the role of disciplinarians and have taken alot of the joy out of mylot..I refuse to take part in making fun of people's english or even their preference of topics..unless they are simply copying and pasting every topic..that would not be good.:)+

I agree with you. I think there are some things that should be complained about, but complaining about every little thing is just too much. You're right. If they hate it here so bad, why stay? There are people here of all faiths, all interests, and all nationalities. That's what the site is for, not to discriminate. As long as I can understand what someone is saying and I have an opinion about it, I'll answer.

Yes i agree, are these the same people that write in to the television companies to complain about their programming, JUST TURN IT OVER, the same goes for here on mylot, if you don't like what your reading then don't read it, the internet is a big, massive place surely they can find somewhere else on it to enjoy themselves instead of sitting reading discussions on mylot that they quite obviously dislike. I love mylot and with 49,007 members (and counting) there are going to be a lot of different discussions and ideas after all, it is a community and i am sure that everyone dosen't agree with every single discussion that they read (even if they do answer it).

The reason for my visit on Mylot is that I delight in meeting people from other cultures and that I can use English to communicate with them so that my English level will be given a boost. It is just like I am using a stone to kill many birds. Actually, I am not so brutal to treat animals like that, but a guy who loves peace and harmony, believing that man, together with animals, should live harmoniously.

I do not think that people complain about the fact that a discussion is uninteresting, but if u have a topic like for an example, coke or pepsi... most people reply with just that, either coke or pepsi and for me that is not a discussion - it is more of a poll!

Well then take it to the people in charge..maybe that is the only English they know ..but it's Christmas and even if you don't celebrate..celebrate a holiday of love...I am sure if we did a search on all the discussion those who are complaining posted we can find some pretty silly ones too?? Ye who are without sin..cast the first stone???

My friend, don't even worry about the haters. Some people, all they no how to do is complain. And the person who spends too much of their time belittling others, obviously feels poorly about themselves. So, instead of feeling hurt or angered by the mean people around here, try and feel sorry for them. After all, they're the ones hurting and unable to confront their own problems. dr... vox populi

I am not angry or hurt for myself but for the people they put down..I do not like to stay quiet when people are putting down others unfairly or making themselves out to be the police of mylot.. We are all here to enjoy this site..there are all types of folks with much or little education..much or little understanding of the English Language...+

Oh my littlefranciscan... I agree with you. These haters even used non "G" rated language on one of my THREAD. That is really SAD! coz they failed to see what I'm doing for them to be an entrepreneur! hey, wait :D may be they are just a bunch of people not even wannabe entrepreneur -- I guess they come here just to vent their anger! So we become the victims! Anyway, I will try not pay any attention to them. Life has to move on. I will try to improve my own ability to interact with people in more professional way. SMILE:D

No use complaining about myLot. It is what it is. They are about making money and they are not going to give much consideration to any complaints. Only if everyone left would they take notice. Pur your expectations and demands aside. Enjoy it as it is or leave.

i do think complaning about other users is not a good thing to do as if is of no use for the one who is complaining and for others. i think some people those who are doing it are just wasting their time.

No I disagree with you. Just because someone doesn't speak strong english doesn't give them the right to ignore the rules. I still see a lot of poll questions (asking for just yes and no answers)and questions about earnings which a recent update said would no longer get credit as posts when they found them. Sorry, but I enjoy the program but don't enjoy it when people feel they have a right to cheat and abuse until they are finally caught and deleted. Rules are not written to give you permission to violate them until caught, they are written because you should obey them at all times.

Ok..I just went through all you discussions..and from what I see..that no one saw much value in what you said either..you have not too much over nine responses in all your topics and if you ask me the topic on the snowman in bed..isn't that ridiculous??? You see what I mean? What you think is important..I sure dont and it would be wrong for me to go out and say all your topics are worthless..IF you were nicer people would respond to your topics more often..A word from the wise to the wise..Dont be too wise!

He's not saying it is about interesting topics, he is talking about the rules and in the rules it states that yes or no questions or questions that can by answered with one word are against the rules.. now i'm sure all of us have had a couple of those, BUT, what about the people who take that and run with it. That post one nonsense question after another.

yes mylot says everybodys welcome here. i see also people here who are really haters and who keep complaining about wrong grammars and spelling. I could say im not good in english and i admit it so what the big deal, everybody is welcome. This is not a composition writing contest here. We're here to share experiences and help for those who need advices and of course make friends not to complain. Well i love mylot and and im learning here. well i guess those people who keep complaining have nothing to put as discussion thats why they're making complains as their topic.....peace to all.

Right on..Mylot says " Help us out and report trolls, flame wars, and troublemakers by sending a private message to myLot. " The complaints should be "private" Why, because to cause such a public noise would discourage and confuse others!!!+

I definitely agree with you there. If someone does not like the way things are on here, than they should just leave and not complain or make discussions about unhappy they are here. It is very annoying to read discussions about people not liking discussions of various types. If they don't like certain discussions they can just ignore it and not complain. Very good discussion here. :-)

I must say that I enjoy reading your topics as most of them I can relate to or have interest in. I try to keep up with my friends topics as well. If I see discussions out there that I don't like, I just avoid them and look for other discussions.

No I think that they should be here as much as they would like. They have a right to post what ever they want as long as it falls with in the rules of myLot. Until myLot has rules against posting complaining discussions they are allowed. You don't have to read the complaining discussions

I believe your right. If they dont like the way things are going in mylot then they should just leave. There are alot of times that I read the subject of a discussion and then decide not to post because I would not have much to say on the subject. I do however think that if you are going to respond to a post you should know a little about the subject. Just not to post to increase your count. Please rate my post.
