Sometimes this happens, although on average, there are more positive statements than negative, therefore, a positive statement is just around the corner.

First of all, if I don't like your recipe, I'm probably not even going to tell you about it. Fact is, we don't all enjoy the same flavor profile.

to help you out today, I just want to remind you that this thinking works in reverse also. Shirk it off. That person doesn't like what you like. they should have been able to tell from the ingredients that they wouldn't like it OR...They messed up the recipe and refuse to consider that as a possibility.

Either way, I don't want to go with the "haters gonna hate" thing. When I've done that, I find I dismiss the message altogether and there might be something useful in that message.

If there's not, then this is a troll. I have great disdain for trolls. They offer nothing to the internet community and the offer nothing to the community in which they reside,

A troll is worthless. Definitely not worthy of changing your mood.

Ah, yes there will always be some negative comments. It's so unfortunate because those will stick to us much more than the good ones. We don't remember the 10 people being nice as much as that one person bullying us.

The best advice I can give is just to remember whether it's negative or positive it's ALL good attention! You also can never make everyone happy, especially those that CHOOSE to be negative with everything. On top of it, being online gives these people an easy way to be insensitive.

Because it's really just a putdown without any constructive criticism I would definitely just ignore it. (At least, as well as one can..)

Hi Janani, out of all your comments this is only one persons opinion and dont let that get you down. Who knows they may have been having a really bad day themselves and you just happened to be the target. Forgive, forget and Keep smiling!

Don't worry about it. Some people just have something bad to say about everyone and everything. I am sure it will get better! Don't let it get you down or slow you down. I know that is easier said than done!

Janani,

I'm sorry that the person was cruel. However, from an outside, objective stand point, that tells me that your website and recipes must be awesome.

After reading the comments on many newspaper articles, YouTube videos and blog sites, it seems that successful people always attract some negative haters.

The comments can be delete or you just have to ignore them so that no one criticizes you for filtering your comments.

So, GREAT JOB!!!!! Keep up the good work.

Don't let that person get to you. You're always going to have some nasty people out there who say horrible things about what you do. Trust me, I've had it happen to some of my videos on my YouTube channel. I just shrug it off and go on as I realize that I can't please everyone, but SOMEONE out there WILL appreciate what I do and respond nicely to that.

I love the supportive community too. Ignore that comment and keep doing what you love. I hope you feel better soon.

If you don't have haters, you're doing something wrong. Sounds like you are doing something right. Keep pushing.

Don't worry about it. It is normal. Not everyone will agree with you. Everyone has their own opinions and preferences. You are the website owner. Final decision is still yours. Do whatever you want.
