Here's a fresh and innovative idea.

	If someone offers you a criticism of a story that you wrote that you
disagree with, *privately* tell the critic to go to hell.  I know I have,
and it worked wonders for my digestion.  Also, it keeps really annoying
arguments from starting on the list, if you know what I mean.
