I don't care, this is just the internet. You guys are probably thousand kilometers away from me and we'll never meet IRL.

I just fail to give a shit to begin with. Why does the opinion of some random online stranger matter?

It depends on the criticism itself. If they're just being dickery for the sake of dicks, then I can safely discard it. If it's constructive criticism, then I look to see how much merit is there, and try to improve my future behavior accordingly.

Basically, you are dealing with a bunch of strangers on the internet that most of the time (unless you get Doxxed) will forget about you in the next morning. These people have absolutely no real impact in your daily life. So, my only suggestion is to tell you to grow the fuck up.

I just laugh at them and go along with it. I'm generally like that irl. Someone insults me I just go along with it. Just show them you're not taking them seriously and they have nothing to do, either laugh with you or just get mad by themselves.
For example, if someone said "suck my dick" I'd respond "you'd like that wouldn't you?". If you want some more throw me insults and I'll respond.

I view it this way...
With the warm blanket of anonymity that the internet offers us it allows people to be either exactly who they are at the core of their personality or compensate for any inadequacies they feel they have in normal social situations. The anonymity and complete lack of normal social constraints on a conversation allows several levels of separation between one person and another when interacting. It gives folks the ultimate freedom to act however they want to. Which puts quite an interesting microscope on that persons moral center. I personally am very interested in how people act when in this state, i feel it gives you the most honest measurement of that person. I'm not so much interested in how a person will deal in situations where they "need" to be either polite or 'nice' as i am in how a person deals with those they don't 'need' to be nice or polite to.
For me when i see an internet troll or some jumped up choad jumping down peoples throats online or replying to a persons comment or contribution with the most vile or unjustly critical garbage, i kind of just put that down to them feeling weak and insignificant out in the real world or them just being a complete asshat. Either way it is their problem. I know for a fact that were we face to face, the conversation would likely be completely different and any venom or unjust criticism thrown around is THEIR deal, not mine. As annoying, angering or hurtful as it may be, you shouldn't own any of it. It is ultimately their baggage... Try not to make it yours.
