Oh joy. "How not to handle bad reviews." [Guardian] "Self-published author Jacqueline Howett's online meltdown after a poor review..." It relates to the review she received from a blog that provides "Reviews and more from the world of the Kindle", Big Al's Books and Pals (click on image). The Guardian goes on:
"Writers, said the science fiction author Isaac Asimov, fall into two groups:
"Those who bleed copiously and visibly at any bad review, and those who bleed copiously and secretly at any bad review."Jacqueline Howett falls into the former category". The comments are hilarious as JH tries to explain, then excuse, then insult (and get insulted). Her final comment belies her smiling avatar. :-)

Kindred Spirits old fruit!
At least she didn't say, "He literally handed them the ball on a plate," which is Andy Townsend favourite phrase.
Don't read any reviews good or bad, that way you don't get excited or pissed off.
"Don't read any reviews good or bad, that way you don't get excited or pissed off."
Bloody right! Goes for films too although the reviews are harder to avoid.
