You will and you've actually been really well received. I wouldn't worry about the occasional negative remark. Those are going to happen and other people can often figure out that it's someone being weirdly pendantic or whatever.

Bill Gates has said something about "your unhappiest customers are your best source of learning." I like to view big negative reactions to my writing in that light and help me up my game for future pieces.

There are no soft launches and this is all grist for the mill.
