Advice Request Terrible mail received!

Ignore and block, don't waste time with this nonsense. Move on.

I totally get the spirit of this comment; however, it IS shocking and DOES merit discussion, especially when WiseVector has received so much praise and many, many postive remarks on his product.

I look at it this way: you're walking on the sidewalk minding your own business. Suddenly, an idiot dumps a bucket of ice cold water on your from an upstairs window and then scuttles away like a cowardly roach.

Wow! You wouldn't say something to a sympathetic audience? Hope the bad guy is caught somehow, WiseVector. No one needs this crap.

The best response is a no response..Scumbags like this are a dime a dozen...Don't waste your time worrying about it
Cheers!!

Thanks!
Yes, we have a lot of important things on our to do list.
If the person is in the forums, hope he can stay rational and have a calm discussion with us.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Never give it.

I'd think WVSX would compliment Comodo. Together, you'd have an unbeatable, and light, combination.

We posted it here, because we think it was probably sent by a member who watched the youtube test and read our explanation about the test results in the forums. The person seems to strongly disagree with our explanation.
If having different point of view, we welcome open and fair discussions in the thread, but not a flame from a dark corner!

Send them a loving reply...

It is shameful and they are a racist coward, just ignore them. We know how good the product is as @cruelsister has also shown!

Pay them no mind. This is simply an indication that you are doing something interesting.

Fuel to the fire.

Reads like someone motivated against the CCP and racist against Chinese people.

Everything they've said, and the way they said it, is couched within racism and anti-CCP govt sentiment.

To think anything else is conspiracy hysteria.

Hello WiseSector,

I agree with @McMcbrad's last statement "If they hate you, then you are doing something right."

If there is anything I've learnt, it is this: As soon as you become successful, some people feel threatened and will try to put you down. Why do they they feel threatened? Because they are not willing or able to put the dedication and hard work into becoming successful themselves. Putting you down is easier than doing the work. What you got in this email is an emotional outburst which means you really struck a nerve there.

Not sure if you want advice but since you posted here, I assume you wanted to get some. What usually might go through your head is "What did I do wrong? Is there truth to this email? Am I inediquate?". Forget about all of that. Put a mental stop to these thoughts. The truth the email is telling is not about you or your product but only about the sender.
See it as what it is:
1) It's a sign that you are successful. You will likely get more of these. But it's a good sign!
2) The author is the one who is inediquate and cannot deal with their own life or emotions.

You can ignore it or, if you feel like it, write something kind back. I am serious, because being kind to someone who attacks you, often stops them in their tracks. Your kindness should be truthful, though. Don't pretend.

You are doing such a great job in the cyber security world that you shouldn't mind, be influenced by these kinds of messages. There will allways be morons, frustrated, lifeless guys out there who will throw rocks at you. Buckle up, 'cause this could be only the beginning. And one more thing: if you receive this kind of mail, it means you are doing a great job and get on someone's nerves.

Or, you can tell them to blow it out their arse.
