Not on the TYT forum, but in general, on the internet. So, I feel your pain. No one has more experience in dealing with criticism than I do. You HAVE to let it roll off you -- and just talk to the people that you find to be constructive.

Now I didn't see the earlier diary, so I don't know the specifics behind that at all. But in general, there will always be people who vehemently disagree with you and feel emboldened by the anonymity of the web. This combination leads them to say things they normally would never say in person.

But there are a lot of other people who you can really relate to online and definitely at this forum. So, seek them out and have fruitful dialogue with them.

I know it's hard to ignore the haters, but you can do it and meet great people and exchange interesting ideas.
