Me, I generally do the frigidly polite clue-bat, just to do my bit to discourage fannish idiocy, and move on. It's the user name in particular that is making me contemplate actually contacting the archive in this case, because that seriously rings my troll-alarm.

It really does depend on the quality of said commenter's comment. If they actually do have a valid point in any way, I read it, and then depending on how I feel, thank them or ignore them. But if it really is wrong wrong WRONGOMGWRONG, I'd completely ignore them.
