what do I do?

Keep your moral high ground, be the better person. Sometimes I'll snap back and make a point that I upvoted their comment to drive home being the better person, sometimes I just ignore them. If it's a pattern of behavior that someone is stalking you, just report them.

ok thanks for the advice

No problem, anytime :)

They’re usually just immature people craving attention. Don’t give it to them...

What's a "hate" comment? Today that could be a mild reprimand.

Hey old man.. It's been a while

Good timing. I feel my brain aneurysm is about to blow. I tripped over my walker and hit my head. I blame my total prune diet.

Ignore them

Just stay strong. Don't let the words of other people stop you! People can be cruel but they can also be nice. Find your people on the site and stick with em!
