I'd ignore it. It just isn't worth even responding to someone like that. I get a kick out of reading your posts. We don't really agree on much but that's half the fun! Keep up the good work.

It's a cowardly approach and I've learned not to let it bother me and to ignore it unless the person has misrepresented my comments. Anyhow, there's always a risk in putting your views out there, but many people respect that you are sharing your experience with financial independence, self-reliance and thoughtful consumerism.

Don't let it get to you, you've already provided more of a response than it deserved. You could just be repeating the same "spend less/types of passive income/joys of index funds/here are a billion and one links to carnivals" stuff we can find on all the other blogs out there, but area actually carving out an interesting little niche for yourself.
