What should you do when a blog reader reads your writing and asks you with a challenging tone? You can sense that it may escalate into a bigger debate. So should you respond with a soft voice, or give a firm reply?

    What are they challenging? Your writing style? Your point of view? Your use of grammar? Your spelling? In the final analysis, they’s all jes’ opinions, and like a******s, everybody has one.

    Don’t sweat it…unless of course it gets vitriolic. Then, just select the “Ignore this Person” feature.

    Check out what they are saying, it may be constructive. See if they are right. They may be trying to help you never know!
    If it really bothers you, just ignore them. Or ban them from your site.

    Screw em! Your blog is your opinions, stories, diaries etc. If people dont like it then they dont have to read it

    its your blog, you have the rihght to write whatever you wish however you wish, just tell them firmly yet very politely that its your to do with what you wish…

    some thing like “i respect your veiw (name) however i feel this (supposed problem) is not a matter of your concern as this is how i portray (supposed problem) but thank you very much for the comment and hope you enjoyed reading and thanks for your support”

    firm yet polite, then its up to them to set the next pace…

    hope that helps
