Curious to see how fellow authors would handle this situation:
A reader messaged me through email about wanting to write a full response to a countdown I made years ago. I suggested that he utilize a comment instead, since viewers who read his article without reading mine would be lost, but he seems adamant on an independent response.
Further muddying the waters, it's actually an article I recently made a modernized version of (I opted to start from scratch rather than update the old). I provided the new link and invited him to read/comment on it, but eh, we'll see how this plays out.
You should tell him about that great revenue earning site Hubpages. He can write his rant, get kicked back because of failing QAP, then come onto the forums and complain about that for awhile.
Haha, that's very likely, unfortunately. I'm almost as flattered as when people steal my articles.
I don't see any reason to give it a second thought. Some people are never satisfied. I'd ignore it and move on.

A reader has asked where they can buy a product that appears in an article. I don't have an Amazon link in the article proper. Can I add one in the comment section?
