What to do when you get bad (angry) responses...

So I had written a piece that’s entiredly web-based and not from my own opinions about David Archuleta and his stage dad, Jeff. Then my editor forwarded me some angry responses (one even called me an ass, haha).

I don’t think they’re public, because I tried to Google it, but nothing came up. He just forwarded those to me, so they’re probably e-mailed to him.

I sort of expected this sort of thing and I am by no means angry or scared or w/e. Now I just don’t know what to do next. Should I reply my editor? What do I say?

Thanks, all!
