As one friend and fellow ‘blogger put it: “It’s not a question of freedom of speech, it’s a question of Editorial control.”

And he’s right, but I do like to at least keep some balance, even when someone doesn’t agree with me…

Hey, if they don’t like it they can go bother somebody else.

Attempting to bury it without any reaction just won’t work. Then, if you cannot blow it off after kicking the chair etc, and it is too early in the day in grab an adult beverage, draft a response, print it out, and stick in your desk (or e-desk if you are truly a hard-core web worker with no such infrastructure). Read that response “later”, like next day or so, but never actually reply to the person (totally agree with those that say NOT to give the critic a response, esp. a passionate response). Writing the unsent response will allow you another vehicle to work thru the anger.

How about the reputation Online. The comments will stay forever in some of the sites. Did a post on Online Reputation in our blog here:

People who offend you just want to provoke a reply. Do not give them waht the want: additional publicity. Always remember that any offense is not true and the person who offends you is at fault. Otherwise he or she would have made a valid point instead of insulting you.
Also Skellie has a grat article on that:

Nothing good can come from a confrontation with someone so close minded and rash.
