Input question

So yesterday I posted something that some people that hate me would judge me upon my protein intake that I was too skinny. That’s what they would criticize me about so I took that and I created a post of me actually being fool with muscle and today they posted a video of them working out really angry. He could see it in their face. They are upset. Also, I know they are haters, but they look really big as in inflamed they listened to a guy that was a foe instead of me they had the to be friends
