Francisco! I've recently switched from reading and engaging with Medium to Substack, but when I saw the title of your post, I couldn't resist checking it out.

After reading it, I have to say that your response to the rude comment you received is truly admirable. Instead of retaliating and sinking to their level, you chose the high road of grace and kindness. Your words were like a shield against their negativity, deflecting it easily. It takes immense strength and bravery to respond in such a manner, and for that, I commend you.
