There must be a huge misunderstanding somewhere. I and you guys must
be talking in a completely different language. None of that is true
from my perspective.

I never called any review stupid, nor did I admit that. I disagreed,
but that's not the same thing. Remember when I told you "Let's agree
to disagree"? It's perfectly fine to have different opinions. Please
don't mix that up.

It was not. Maybe you felt that way, but I did not intend you to feel
that way. I would like to find out why you felt that way (because I
don't have the slightest clue), that's why I asked, and why I'm
waiting for your reply. If you would reply, maybe we could clear
things up and resolve the misunderstanding.

It sounds like I won't ever have the chance to do that, so... farewell.
