		<description>sometimes it is hard to separate the &quot;professional&quot; you from the &quot;personal&quot; feelings you get when you receive a bad feedback but when you engage in social media sites, well, it&#039;s bound to happen so better to deal with it as soon as you calm down. put yourself together, assess the damage and do the best you can to salvage your dignity.</description>

		<description>Meeting head on with such discussions is actually a positive way to tackle and protect your brand. In any case you cannot prevent people from reading such comments and that definitely is going to destroy your reputation. The best thing that could be done in such a case is to embrace it as a challenge and get involved. If you are able to properly handle it, the aftereffects of such negative comments shall only be positive. Not responding to / ignoring such comments is just like accepting them.</description>

		<description>This is so true. In practice it is often difficult to separate ourselves from these comments, or at least it is for me sometimes. If we follow this advice - then perhaps a negative can be turned positive. 

I just recently was involved in some rather negative &quot;to and fro&quot; between myself and some of our colleagues. It is unfortunate when contemporaries argue back and forth over nothing. Thanks for reminding us all how we should play the game. 

Always, Phil</description>

		<description>I guess before social media, corporations only had the facade of control over their brand because conversations about their brands have always been going on in the conversations in people&#039;s homes, workplaces, etc. I realize that the web brings it to a new level, but conducting business is always better when done without fear so the businesses who embrace this will do better than those who try to hold  on and continue to control things.</description>
