Never let haters stop you
Today I woke up to a comment full of hate that really made me upset when I read it. It's the most hateful comment I have received so far, here it is:
He (not showing his name for privacy reasons) calls me a scammer without having any real proof. If I was a scammer, perhaps I would be making more money. WA members who know what my site is and have read some of my posts know that I'm not a scam artist.
For your information, the "scam" he's talking about is this awesome platform we're on, but he doesn't have any real proof as I said. He's judging without giving me any logical argument.
And well, you can read the rest of the comment... who does he think he is? If he hates me this much, why did he spend his time on writing this harmful comment? Who knows if the real scammer is him and he's mad at me for having exposed that scam lol.
I never thought I would receive a comment like this but I guess you never know how much hate some people can have. I will try to take this comment with a pinch of salt because this person doesn't even know me personally. I guess I should not even give him a response, right?
I will remember the positive comments that come from people who have taken the time to read my posts and thank me. Comments like this:
Never let negative comments like the one I have received stop you from what you are doing. What people say and do says a lot about them, not you.
"Carrying hate in your heart will only block you from blessings."
"Hate is a terrible thing. It's a wasteful, stupid emotion. You can hate someone with all your heart, but it'll never do them a bit of harm. The only person it hurts is you. You can spend your days hating, letting it eat away at you, and the person you hate will go on living just the same. So, what's the point?"
"And if you've ever been held down before
I know you'll refuse to be held down anymore!
Don't you let nothing, nothing
Stand in your way!"
Continue putting in the effort and time just like you have been doing. You know your purpose so don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Have a profitable and great weekend! =)

Miren,
it can get quite upsetting when these negative experiences come your way. I too, get bothered and it can ruin my day. I must be honest with myself and you.
The worst thing that I do to myself is that I get all worked up, thinking, "Hey I'm not that kind of person! I'm a nice person! I hate it when someone calls me something that I'm not!"
As I gone through many of these experiences and as I got older, I learned that people are entitled to their own opinion of me. When I got that epiphany a 60-ton weight lifted off of me.
I know who I am (confident yet humble) and no one can take that away from me.
The guy/gal who wrote that is sharing their own experience. You know who you are and just accept that.
When someone is jealous, they have a problem. NOT YOU!
Enjoy the thought you got them pissed to say what they say.
Do this Miren, when they write to you again that way, tell them,
"Thank you soo very much Alex, you are right! I hope to hear from you again! Take care and God Bless You!"
ALEX WON'T KNOW WHY YOU SAID SUCH PLEASANTRIES! yOU HAVE MADE THEM CONFUSED. LET HIM BE RIGHT AND YOU GO ON MERRILY WITH YOUR LIFE.
YOU ACTUALLY PISSED HIM/HER OFF MORE.
This will make you things happen, you will feel good about yourself
and you made Alex( name I made up) confused.
They'll try to "attack" you more but their mind will get less and less angry. lols! Pretty soon Miren you won't hear from them again.
What you used is AIKIDO. You worked his attack and strengthened it which will weaken it. I know I'm confusing but please think about it.
MAKE HIM RIGHT BUT YOU KNOW INSIDE YOU HE'S DANG WRONG!!! LOLS!
Have a great day my dear friend.
Life is too short to get pissed.

He is probably the owner of the scam you reviewed. I've reviewed a few scams and then been hated on by the owner. You can usually tell because they leave multiple comments from different personas, but always the same IP address.
Hi Dom,
I thought about that too. He might be the owner of the scam I exposed. I wasn't aware of the IP address thing, thanks for telling me =)
Hi, wow!
He took time out of his life to make a stupid comment that didn't even affect you. The truth is if it is a scam just close the site why even wate time typing? This guy had nothing better to do with his time, hope he had no effect on you. Have a blessed day.
Francesca
I guess he thought it would affect me or maybe he hoped I would stop exposing scams, but not going to stop =)
I receive more positive comments so I must be doing something right lol
Have a great day you too =)
Hi Miren and thank you for this necessary post, my dear! I know it must have been difficult, yet cleansing to write. Looking all around us in the world, we see hate, violence and extreme acts of each. WHY!? The haters need to fuel their fire. However, if we keep spreading love, hopefully someday it will overtake the hate. Good always prevails over evil!
Erin :)!
You're so welcome! You're right, we can only spread love and not let hate consume us.
I don't know if you've listened to a song called "Ngiculela" by Stevie Wonder. I listen to it everyday because I love these lyrics:
"Let's all sing someday sweet love will reign
Throughout this world of ours
Let's start singing
Of love from our hearts"
Good Morning Miren,
This is definitely not a nice way to start a day, I fully agree and I also would be upset if it happened to me.
You have 2 options, or delete or write a polite little answer back to this person.
I am sorry to read your hateful opinion of me but as it is obvious you have not read my post and neither know me the only thing I can say is I pity you.
It is probably best to let a couple of days pass so you have time to cool down.
I hope you will have a nice weekend.

Thank you Taetske for your answer, I'm actually thinking of modifying the comment so that it looks positive lol.
What city do you live in? In less than two weeks I'm going to the south of Spain =)
Good Morning Miren,
I live between Malaga and Torremolinos in Alhaurin de la Torre, 8km inland.
You are welcome to give me a ring on 952410820, best after 15.00

When we do our best to live with honesty and integrity, we can live with a clear conscience.
Just do your stuff in the most decent way you can and ignore the others.
You have probably notified WA of the comments?
Comments like the one above aren’t necessary and a little disturbing but there is so much bla bla bla out there!
We all have so much going on with so many frustrations, some people may snap at some point.
Move on and do your thing. Keep your cool!
Wayne
Hi Wayne,
You are right, you can sleep well at night knowing that your intentions are genuine.
No, I haven't notified WA of the comments because these comments are not from WA members. I got the comments organically.
Yeah, I understand we can snap at some point, but it's not ok to bring other people down to feel better.
Anyway, I'll try to forget about that comment. Have a great day :)
Miren
Shoo, Miren, I would have been devestated to receive a comment like this. It's verbal abuse and completely out of line.
Well done for taking the higher ground. Personally, I wouldn't have approved it or engaged with the commenter by replying. I don't want that kind of energy on any of my sites.
It's normal, anyone who has good intentions would feel like that... I usually reply to all comments even the ones that are not that positive, but some of them actually constructive so I also reply to them.
But this one has nothing constructive so I don't think I'll approve it because I don't want that toxic energy on my site, just like you said.
I commend you for taking the high ground on this. What a horrible thing to say/write to someone! I think I would be mortified if I ever received a comment like that. Hold your head high, you know you are doing good!
Best wishes,
Karin
It's easy to feel sad with comments like that, but there are people just like that, who have no empathy or consideration...
The good comments are the ones that keep me going.
Thank you Karin, best wishes to you too =)

Thats a great post Miren, there are going to be plenty of people that hate on the way. Might even come from people close to us but we just have to push on.
I think the thing with me is trying to not get worked up and respond unprofessionally.
Glad to hear that you liked this post =)
In fact, I remember some months ago I received some comments from other trolls calling me a scammer, but they were shorter than this one.
You're right, there are going to be many haters and doubters, but we can't let them stop us :)
