Respond To Your Crappy Reviews
Ever get the urge to respond to a review that definitely did not make your day? There's a website just for you - and others that would like to vent and commiserate the effects of a bad review.
The Worst Review Ever asks you to submit and/or link to your bad review, then you have a chance to discuss how it made you feel or to tear that crazy @$#%&$# down. It's the brainchild of Frenemies Harper Teen YA author, Alexa Young.

Now Alexa writes about a pretty snarky bunch of teens - perhaps she would be used to reviewers comments and could just dust them off of her shoulder.
Personally?
The less said, the better.
