Don’t read the comments.
Sage and oft-repeated advice for any legitimate writer who’s worth his or her salt and who’s publishing in a forum that gets enough traffic to draw in a wide enough swath of the online world to suck up some of the dregs. Lucky for me, I’m neither legit nor all that highly-viewed. And while I’m often salty, I’m not sure it’s in the same manner I described above.
I actually try to be really active in the comments sections here at Cubs Insider, despite the relative dearth of feedback as compared to some of the national sites or even our Cubs-centric brethren.
