If it's just some negative feedback, from a guy who may not have any idea about what he's talking about, then you should tell him to back off, as he shouldn't waste your time with stupid opinions..you don't have to kick his -ss, though. You can solve this kind of problems without having to piss each others off
I agree, if the criticism is actually constructive with good information - I take it to heart even if it hurts a little. Then, I evaluate it and determine if I agree. If I agree, I make changes to my blog and thank the person in a comment of my own. If not, I politely thank the person who offered the criticism, anyway.

If someone is just saying nasty things, I delete their comment, block their IP and otherwise ignore them. Try not to take it personal, some people are just jerks and like to leave nasty comments everywhere. They like to stir things up and giving them attention only encourages them.
