'What a waste of time' -- dealing with criticism

I was lucky enough to get a generous review on io9.com last weekend. And in the comments section under the review, the response was overwhelmingly positive. I was being tweeted, and e-mailed and Liked.

It was a really good weekend.

Until I read this.

I tried giving this comic a read, and it wasn't funny at all. 

What a waste of time. 

My pageviews were astronomical. People were clearly pouring through the archives. And the positive comments were kind to say the least. Obviously, I was doing something right.

But you know which comment stayed with me: "What a waste of time."

So, how do you process criticism?
