Fortunately, the adoption blogging community is tightknit, and we notify each other when a rabid commenter appears on the scene. These commenters tend to target several blogs within a particular niche and spread their bad breath in as wide a swath as possible. They won't be reasoned with; they just enjoy stirring up trouble. I've learned to ignore them and they give up and go away. It's disconcerting when someone decides they hate you, personally, based on one blog post. But that's the way some people operate.

Eventually, he got tired of us and went away to stalk some other sap. I do blog a lot, I do want to be loved, most of my readers write post agreeing with me (or, on occasion, disagreeing with me respectfully) but I'm not afraid of the snarks anymore.
