Remember most people see you as "they" are, not as "you" are. What they are most often expressing is an unfulfilled desire that they are not actively creating. They direct negatives towards you because of something within themselves that they are unhappy with but it's easier to attack and criticize you than it is to actually do the work inside themselves to change it internally.

My friend received some nasty comments on her site about her pictures of her family and everything and I felt that was so rude but I told her you must have done something right to have angered someone because if you didn't spark something in them they wouldn't have commented, commenting means they care enough to tell you. Its when people visit your site and don't comment its that disinterest thats worse. I get tons of visitors but its when people comment I know that something said was important. Thats why I always comment to every site I goto. I see sometimes when some popular people visit my site and don't comment, and it hurts a little. But I make it a point to always return comments and always comment. Even if it isn't something positive I try to be nice about it. But when someone leaves something nasty I try to see their point of view and construct something good from it. Thats true.

It just seems so outside the realm of what we do there! As much as I don't want to admit it, those comments hurt, and I've obsessed over them a time or two. What really seemed to make the most difference was giving it some time aka: "respond only when you're focused." Once the initial shock wore off (sometimes it took a few days), I could respond much more ratioanlly instead of from a place of hurt and anger. In fact, I often find that after a little time away, I didn't even want to respond. In the end, I created a "commenting policy" that allows for folks to state their own opinions, as long as they do it in a respectful manner. If you're just being a jackass, then your comment gets deleted without a response. Having that policy in place made me feel better, and I actually haven't had to deal with much trolling there since it went into effect.

I dont mind feedback from people but its definitely annoying when people say oh blahblah sucks and don't tell you why they don't like it. I love to hear feedback even if it is negative why so I can improve on the site for everyone to enjoy it. I know I can't please everyone but if people have problem with an adplacement, certain ads or whatever. I would be more than happy to fix it.
