I find there are three types of negative commentators.

1. Genuine concern. I answer with thoughtful rebuttal. 1 time.

2. Arrogant prick who wants to feel important by ‘taking me down’. I respond with snark and a smile.

3. The “I’m offended, so offended.” I laugh and block them. People who get offended are not anyone I want as a reader or friend. No response from me.
