How do you deal with foolishness of your readers

"Thanks for your thoughtful and thorough review. I will take your suggestions into consideration for my next rewrite."

Note that I never specify when my next rewrite will be nor give any guarantees that I will actually implement the suggestions.

Hmmm.. I could probably use this. If you don't mind ?

I don't do anything. I just say why are you stupid under my breath and move on

 

[MasterHiatus]

No need to make things complicated....
Unless someone pissed me off, I'll burn him or her to hell

That rarely happens...

Me liking deir post.
Me answer with some explanation if its needed or could be done.

But mostly me just "eeh, okay. Dats also a pow."

In a way going in and comment something dat u plainly just doesnt like without any proper criticism is bad manners but heey, they r showing off deir bad manners to everyone, so let em be look stupid if deyre or correct them if it could be done as it could be done sometimes.

The next point should be "if ure actually feel bad reading dis kind of shit what should you do?"
But how the hell should i know. I feel bad ofc but its not like i myself never hated something just cuz haters gonna hate. It wasnt some random creators work dat he do cuz he like dat but still, i hate stuff and i was prepared for my stuff to be hated if it will be hated.

Gladly its not hated(me happy) and i got just a few comments dat do criticism in a rather objective way so maybe im actually have no rights to talk but still id do what i said if shit happens anyway.

ohhh, I see. This fits in to my belief that you can't please everyone. It's better to just please yourself, but don't ignore the things you hold dear.

Go ahead, but be sure to credit me If you put it in quotation marks and put Kari Rakitan at the end, you'd get the added bonus of confusing the person ?

I now have a sentence that can surprisingly be a subtle way of being passive-aggressive
It's like: "K. Here's a quote".

I'll keep this in mind ?

The title says it all

Things like imposing, correcting on the story while expecting their words to be treated as facts.
Readers piling trash on other readers because they don't share the same opinions, but really totally avoidable.
Impatience and impulsive commenting on their negative thoughts - which may be uninformed or not the whole picture at all.
Hate for the writing because they compare it to something else or they don't plainly like something your book is based on.
Stupid messages and commenting that makes you think if the one who sent it really thought about it. Or the person thought it was cool and smart, when it really.... wasn't.
Expecting and requesting unrealistic things for your story and writing.
Not thinking of the author's thoughts and feelings when talking to them.
Immature audiences and your interaction with them (and no, I'm not disparaging them). And if any of you have dealt with a young reader who shouldn't have been reading your writing and thinking of some (possible disturbing, mature, hurtful etc.) stuff.

Share other things that bug displease, impact you negatively, bother you, trigger some perfectionism and obsessions and more. But please be informative and detailed. I would not know how to deal with it if you rant something I can't understand ?>?

Thing is, do not reply. In the professional world. Authors are advised not to reply to comments. Since it can also hurt their credibility. Only under really personal instances, maybe friends, family, etc. That it is okay to reply.

As for strangers? Under most circumstances, it can hurt you to reply. More often than not, if they comment, and you reply. It is better to simply acknowledge, and move on.

I'm grateful for this tip, thank you very much.

i write niche stuff and don't really pander to anyone but myself, that's probably why it's chill. if they comment, i usually reply however i like, as long it won't start some argument.

but if they're kinda toxic i just ignore them since they're not worth my time, i guess.

Imma adapt to this way now, I am tired of dealing with them in other sites.

Inb4 SH becomes a toxic fuckfest like RRL.

Lol, don't let the lot of self entitled idiots disrupt your process.

As if SH readers would comment enough to become like RR
