I think it's important in all facets of your life to recognize the point beyond which a certain event is out of your control. I'm guessing the failure to do so is at least part of the reason why authors would actually engage somebody who wrote a negative review. If they really thought about it, maybe they would realize that there isn't anything they can do beyond writing the best piece of writing they could. It's seriously unlikely that the person they're arguing with is going to say, "You know, you're right: my review *was* unfair!"
