A loverly notion Mr. Dean but I've a better Idea (I think). Rather than elevate the idiots or stew in resentment take all that angst and use it for inspiration. A number of my stories are the results of snide comments and snippy critiques (Lien was written for a reviewer who constantly complained that I should be a bit harsher) Others are inspired by reviews that I've given to encourage struggling writers ("Review This Story" being the most obvious case in point).
So, not to be mocking Pollyanna but you can always use the nasty little comments to inspire a more eloquent form of vengeance.
