He is quite literally the biggest imbecile who's ever been given a place in the sun. His snarky and sometimes obscene replies show what a low quality human being he is, and his reviews could only possibly appeal to emo teenagers who are constantly angry with their parents. Shame on them... and pity for him.
It's one thing to disagree, and vehemently at that, with another's opinion. It's an entirely different matter to post what you did. You sound like a religious zealot who's been slighted and is out for blood. Those sorts of comments are mocked frequently by whoever encounters them and really, I would have hoped that you could have disagreed in a much more civil fashion.
