What I do and what I think are different on this. I have never responded to reviews and am hard pressed to imagine the circumstance under which I would do so. But I'm an old school guy. I think it's worth considering that the rules might change with the technology. There is the possibility now for the writer to conduct a dialogue with reviewers. It doesn't have to be a two-way smear fest. I can imagine exchanges where reviewer, author and bystanders all end up at a higher place. That's not likely to happen if everyone is intent on insulting everyone else. However, I'd like to think that there are other possibilities.
