Hi Hubbers, what should I do in response to a comment that is attacking my article, should I ignore, or approve and stay silent, or approve and reply to his/her comment. thank you
If I were you I would just not approve/delete it. Is there anything constructive in the comment that might help you going forward?
It depends what you mean by attack.
If they are clearly being rude and aggressive, then I would delete the comment.
If they are arguing against your point in a calm, rational fashion and you disagree with their viewpoint, approve the comment and respond to it in a calm rational fashion.
If it's constructive criticism I may keep it, especially if it adds to the hub. Else just delete it and ignore.
Not all the raised points are constructive, Some are subjective, that what makes it hard to answer
If you're finding it difficult to answer, ignore it. Don't spend time on stuff that isn't really important.
Agree with lobobrandon.Constructive criticism is good because it engage the readers to spend more time on your hub. It also attracts other readers to dive in and share their opinion. However, if you face an attack then obviously you not approve the comment!
You could always reply in a professional manner. You can shut the attacker down but in a way that you don't offend them or make yourself look unprofessional also ignoring them is a good thing too! The choice is ultimately up to you and how you handle things. Hope things go well.
I agree. If the person is being belligerent then delete the comment.
Thanks for your valuable reply, it really helped a lot!

For the last ten days I do not seem to be able to reply to the 12 comments that I have received on various posts. After having read an article and having left a comment, that does not seem to work either. I have mentioned this glitch on the hubpage Facebook pages and now again here. Please...

This has probably been addressed elsewhere but I haven't found the answer yet. Is it ok to post a link to your own hub in the comments section to someone else's hub on the same or similar subject? I just found such a post in a comment on one of my hubs and don't know whether its a good...
