If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all!

So I joined Wealthy affiliate, dabbled around on a few things and eventually made way with a website. My website is a very targeted niche and I appreciate that although not everyone will resonate with it, it is my choice and something I feel very passionate and strongly about. However, after posting my URL and asking for feedback I received an email to approve a comment. A fellow member had gone out of their way to leave my a comment almost as long as the article itself doing nothing but pulling me down, telling me I'm wrong, trying to contradict her own interpretation of what I had written and tried to make out it was been constructive.
My site is aimed at the 'Vegan' niche. I wanted to start a site which would help people find the information they need when making this transition or even just as an interest. However this person, spoke to me about "The Creator" (nothing mentioned in my article about anything of the sort) putting these things for us to use, told me she loves meat but cares for animals as she put her house spiders outside instead of squishing them *rolls eyes* and even went as far as telling me that I don't get enough nutrition and I quote "but I DO like my meals which contain a moderate amount of meat which contain levels of zinc, protein and b-vitamins that vegans can never ever obtain". My article title is "Do Vegans Eat Honey" all of which the statements in there are factual, I appreciate that some may see them as extreme but I did research it and everything I wrote was based on facts.
This person later goes on to tell me how plants have feelings too (I'm not even getting into this).

This is the typical stupidity that I have to put up with on a daily basis and is a typical response from someone who isn't trying to convince me of anything but simply trying to justify it to themselves. Why else would you feel the need to come and start a "healthy debate" as it was referred too. I could flaw everyone of the statements made as I'm sure I have researched more on why to go Vegan than someone has of why they continue to eat meat but Wealthy Affiliate is not the place to do it.

To close please let me tell you something. I am not here to debate my ethical or moral choosing with you. I am not here to prove anything or convert you. If you ask I will happily talk to you provided you are open minded and generally interested. If you don't like what I have put, simply navigate away from the page and leave someone else a nice comment.

I am Vegan not because I think I am better than anyone else but because I believe we are all equal.

Live with compassion..

Adam

That is what is going to happen, people will have opinions. Those are their own thoughts and when you have comments on your blog, you open yourself up to comments like these.

Sometimes I don't allow stuff like this to be posted (if it is truly out of line), but a lot of the time an argument or conflicting ideologies can lead to a really good conversation about something.

Not every comment is going to be rah rah and that is OK. You want all walks of life, all types of opinions, and all forms of questions being asked within your content. It will make your overall content (post) that much more engaging.

But again, if it is inappropriate just move on and I wouldn't let it concern you too much here.

Hi Adam Some people here still do not understand what is expected on feedback and comments. Sorry you had that unfortunate experience. I am sure you will get some honest feedback.

Wow, that is ridiculous. I am sorry that this has happened to you. Unfortunately I am sure it will happen many more times. Just keep writing as there are many people who are interested in what you have to say.

Hi Adam,

That is very unfortunate and most members don't act this way. You have the advantage to trash that comment in your dashboard.

Just keep up your great work and don't pay attention to comments like that. What you want is to learn and apply techniques that will help you improve your site.

All the best.
