Mostly, I just shrug, although some of 'em get me down (particularly if I really-really like the story).
It depends on the nature of the rejection comments, too.
Once, I had a story rejected as not being "science fiction." My story took place on another moon of another planet far, far away and focused on a new science. The market made reference to my story by name...so I don't think they mixed it up with another one...but that left me scratching my head and wondering about subbing to that market again... I could understand not liking my story...but it not being science fiction???
