An author can ignore the critic. Or an author can see if there is any basis for the criticism.

I'll have to say that I rarely interact with authors that I read, and never from the stand point of giving feedback - constructive or otherwise. On the other hand, as a software writer, I was fine getting feedback from my customers. They were the customers, the point was to provide software they like.
