It is a big turn off to see an author call the reviewer names or tell the reviewer they are wrong and don't know what they are talking about.
I find the best way to fight the urge to respond to reviews is to actually write whatever it is I want to say - often at great length - but simply don't send it. This has the added advantage of feeling like I've had the last word.
