User blog comment:CareeningCorpse/Should People Who Can't Handle Constructed Criticism Be Banned?/@comment-24974354-20140807052953

to be honest, i think that banning someone for reacting in a less than "thank you for this" manner to criticism on a story is a little extreme. so long as they're not breaking any rules or being unnecessarily hostile, i just think you should ignore them and move on. if they're not going to give any attention to advice, then it's only hurting them in the long run.

also, i can sort of sympathize with those who may be a little bit uncomfortable with criticism. some people literally cannot stop themselves from thinking it's a personal attack. anxiety disorders and depression aren't exactly uncommon, and many of these people cannot make themselves believe it's nothing personal even though they know it's not and that the critique is trying to be helpful.

tldr: banning may be extreme unless the person is being outright offensive.
