“ Are you up for modifying your draft based on private responses from the people whose work you’re criticizing?”
If you’ve solicited feedback, I would suggest that your obligation to modify your draft depends on how strong their response is.
If it’s clear that your draft contains significant factual inaccuracies, then publishing reflects poorly on you (though you shouldn’t automatically feel a need to respond to attempts to dispute a fact, as often they may be pointing out something minor or you may have reason to doubt their account).
If the average reader after reading both your post and their response will come away with an impression that your critique was ideological or one-sided, then you should probably edit your draft, though there might be exceptions (say if someone is traumatised to the point where they lack the ability to be objective, so the alternative would be not publishing at all).
To be clear, I’m not saying that you need to edit just because they’ve made some good or reasonable points. I’m more suggesting that you shouldn’t ignore points if this would make a good faith reader feel like your article was pushing them away from the truth.
