>___< Ouch, those two reviews are definitely flames (and really nasty ones as well); there are so many ways to give constructive criticism and these certainly don't qualify.
Looking at those two back to back, I'm guessing that these two people either know each other or are actually the same person posting twice for the maximum effect. (Alternatively, one of them could be copying the other one's insult as well, but either way, it is really hurtful.) I've seen several of these types on FF.Net (basically leaving nasty reviews on fics they deem have Mary Sues) but there are some who actually leave solid advice, and there are....well, those.
Personally, if I got such a review, firstly I would look through my fic to check the points that may actually make sense and see how I can correct them. And if I find the review irrelevant (or downright insulting), well, the handy 'reply' button always works to 'thank' the reviewer.
*hugs* Hang in there and keep trying to improve because giving in and being disturbed by those nasty words is exactly what those idiots want.
