The internet is a marketplace of ideas.

Engage with or amplify content you agree with. Create content of your own that represents your values or ideas. If you want, try to persuade others where you think they're wrong.

Overall, if you can feel good about what you've put out there, that's enough. You'll field comments like this no matter what it is.

It is not a marketplace, it is a forum.

You are entitled to your opinion, as I am to mine.

Exactly as you stated, if you cannot handle the criticism, do not go public.
