Not that I am always a perfect observer of this dictum myself. But authors, if someone gives you a 1 star review, bite your tongue. Because if you follow Candace Sams's example in attacking a reviewer for daring to criticise her book, you are likely to end up a public laughing stock. Especially if you continue to keep digging your hole deeper when people try to advise you that your behaviour is ill-advised. If assorted big name editors and authors are pointing at the ensuing trainwreck as a teaching example for baby authors of What Not To Do On The Internet, you really can't claim that it's just Mean Girl readers who don't understand about writing.
