Unhelpful criticism

Does anyone else get super aggravated by unhelpful negative feedback?
I have a lot of stories in me, it's just taking some time to put them together and write them. I used to have a bunch on sex stories dot com under a different name but I had them deleted.
In any case, I write a story, make sure I tag everything accordingly so someone who isn't interested in something doesn't wander in accidentally, and still I get this comment: “That was just nasty, and not good nasty at all.” by a reader who has no published stories.
WTF?
It's not helpful, it pisses me off, and it makes me want to use my computer skills to hunt this person down and terrorize them. But I won't, because I'm trying to be a nice guy.
I welcome feedback, even negative feedback, if I can learn something from it, but a comment like that I can't do anything with except stew in my anger.
OK end of rant.
Keep in mind two things regarding the unhelpful negative feedback:

Any fool can criticize, and most do. Dale Carnegie
Time wounds all heels. Groucho Marx

Hang in there.
 
I don't pay any attention to straight mean comments. And sometimes I get editorial comments that make me go "yeah but I did that on purpose" and those don't bother me either.
Honestly the ones I lose sleep over are the "damned with faint praise" type. The "I wouldn't have..." or "interesting choice to..." comments. The kind that imply that it would be a good story if I was just a little more skilled.
