For starters, don't ask that particular friend to beta for you. If she reviews with stuff she didn't like/expects you to change sweep it under the rug either by focusing on other parts of the review or just go with what the anons above suggested. Generally speaking there's nothing wrong with engaging reviewers in conversation, sometimes you get great discussions about characterization or plot development, but at the end of the day it's your fic and you don't have to accommodate anyone but yourself - that goes for reviewers and beta readers.

How long has your friend been in fandom? "You're wrong and the reviewer is probably right" is an out-dated notion that was prevalent during that phase where writers were supposed to feel grateful for any and all feedback, including flames.

*nod* I have other people to beta

I think a bit longer than me. When I got into fandom she was very intent on telling me "how to 'do' fandom right". *shrug*

... I would take this person's advice with a huge grain of salt. Anyone who's that intent on lecturing you about the Do's and Don'ts of fandom sounds like someone who's in love with the sound of her own typing.
