Comparisons with Ellison are pointless: He is one writer, an @$$ besides, and not one anybody should be using as a character guide.
My opinion is that a writer has no need to respond to a review, good or bad. However, there's one way that is usually considered acceptable: Make a light-hearted comment, one that labels the writer as a "good sport," and which does not seriously address any negative points. If you, the writer, cannot do this... don't respond at all.
