    If I get negative feedback on an article, I'll approve it. 
    What I'd deny is comment spam and insults. I'm more likely to deny a simple "great hub... look at mine" since it is just like comment spam than someone disagreeing with something I wrote.

    I would deny comments that were abusive or simply ad hominem attacks that had little to do with the content of the article. However, well marshaled arguments only add to the color of hubpages and authors should be willing to defend their stance especially if they have made a really bold statement. What is the point if someone writes something outrageous but doesn't allow for dissent? But insults? Nah, they get the ejector seat!

    Insulting comments, within limits of course, are welcomed.

    Though, thanks to God, people really liked my work so far and I haven't got any of 'em.

    If the feedback is relevant yes.  If personal no.

    If feedback contain constructive criticism I leave it, if it is written with the aim to abuse me or other users I delete it.

    i actually had a troll (someone who wasn't a hubpage member) leave an insulting comment on my hauntings of ybor city hub, which i denied. i would have approved it because he seemed to be an intelligent person, he claimed to be a "concerned historian"; however, i denied it because he called me a "liar" and bashed me. if he simply left his opinion on the subject, i probably would have approved it.

    I deny negative feedback, because if the person doesn't like what I wrote then they shouldn't be reading it to begin with.

    Or if they're envious, then they should just get over themselves and stop waisting their time and the writer's!!!

    I have a note on my profile that I will approve any post that doesn't get personal. I would like to believe that we are all adults and as such behave as adults - not immature kids

    It all depends. If the feedbacks are constructive, then we should consider that. Sometimes people gave negative feedback for whatever reasons. If it is constuctive, then it gives you no benefit. I never denied any comments. Just remember, everyone is entitled to their opinion. We all do not have to agree with one and other. That makes us interesting individuals!

    I don't approve comments if they flame against me. If they are expressing an opinion against my hub or whatever the thing I write is I usually aprove the comments unless the comment is written in a language I wouldn't want my other hub readers to have to suffer.

    I do answer to such comment ,I am not afraid of them ,its just that people who can't do anything themselves find faults in others ,what we write is not forced to be followed ,its just that you have come across the article when you were searching  for the related topic ,and definitely you are unaware of the related facts of the concerned topic which has made you search on the net  ,so why to pass unhealthy comments when you yourself are unaware of it..It make them appear fools when I answer those comments

    Negative feedbacks is always a booster for every writer. For the people who wish to increase traffic would avoid it. However, I would avoid referral links and adult content links on my feedbacks.

    Every writer likes great critics rather than honey comments.

    I approve every comment. I can honestly say no one has left me anything shockingly rude, but if someone did I would still approve it. That’s part or posting your work on a public forum, you have to be open to the good and the bad. Also when I read a really rude comment I don’t necessary look at the work it was directed at, but more towards the person that wrote the rude comment. Posting tacky rude comments on hub pages makes you look bad, not the persons work.

    I would include it but so far I wouldn't  consider any of the comments I have received as negative.
