How to Deal With Negative Blog Comments

Receiving negative comments is a possibility in every blog. This damaging commentaries is common, even if your blog does not deal with a political or controversial issue. Even your personal blog can also receive bad criticisms, if the reader has a different opinion from you or would have a different choice. This article will include discussions on how to deal with negativity left on your posts, criticism from friends and family members and avoid legal problems.
The Negative Comments

Negative comments are signs of opposition from your followers. It might be targeted on the topic posted or on the blog in general. Some bloggers will find it discouraging to continue given these comments. However, there are ways to deal with these comments.

One way of avoiding disapproval is to disable the comments feature. This can be a good way to prevent damaging comments but, it will also keep your supporters from giving theirs. Another is to eliminate bad comments is to simply delete them. This is a practical method for bloggers who are always online because these comments can only appear for a short period of time. Rebutting comments on your posts can also discourage naysayers. Finally, banning visitors who leaves contradictions is perhaps the most effective way to stop receiving bad observations.

The Criticisms from Your Friends and Family Members

Criticisms from friends and family members can greatly affect you. They might not post their sentiments to express their disapproval but, they can directly confront, email or call the blogger. This opposition greatly discourage you from writing because you want them to be happy. However, in these delicate situations you can talk with friends and family members to explain your position and come to a compromise with them. Sometimes proper communication is the solution to this problem however, the blogger might need to modify or alter his/her blog to prevent further disagreements among his/her circle.
Avoid Legal Problems


There are provisions in the law that limits bloggers. Freedom of speech protects you but, there are situations that can cause legal troubles. Untrue and defamatory statements might provoke libel cases. Blogging may violate copyright laws and these can cause legal problems. Thus, as a blogger you need to be careful of your facts. You need to research carefully especially on sensitive topics and learn to cite sources. On personal blogs, a clause that states your claim on the experiences you posts is a good way to protect you from plagiarism and court disputes.
