I you become a published writer, you will be reviewed and inevitably get some bad ones. Here is how not to react.

Currently on Amazon there is a thread where an author made the mistake of publically responding to a bad review. One thing lead to another...

From about page 16 the author claims that everyone who has posted has been reported to the FBI.

It's a trainwreck, but instructive.

Five one star reviews out of eight reviews, and it's still pretty high up on the sales ranking. Interesting. The author should just be happy about that.
