Well, there's a difference between constructive criticism and and just plain 'ol being a jerk.

Constructive criticism: I thought for the most part that it was good, but you need to work on your shading. It's hard to tell the difference between the foreground and background at times.

Being mean: Your shading sucks. You should just stop altogether. This is pure garbage.

Personally, I would accept all constructive criticisms and use it to improve my product.

Dealing with a troll? Well, as someone who trolled in her past (it wasn't vicious trolling, it was more like "let's just say stupid things and see what idiot actually takes this seriously" kind of trolling, mind you), I can affirm that reactions are the main reason. Many people do it for teh lulz that they get from your reactions, so the best thing to do would be to ignore and/or block them (although it's not as satisfying as dropping an F-bomb on them a few times). The troll will eventually get bored and look elsewhere for prey.

In addition to that, don't make yourself obvious trollbait, or otherwise easy to troll. If you show that you're obviously mad/upset in some way, they will continue. Also, try to avoid saying/doing certain things if you're sensitive to trolling (Ex: stating that you're a brony will probably result in you being called a "clopper"). In other words, don't give them a reason to troll you.

This is how I'd go about it, at least.
