After the article, I think I picked up a "hater", and he went through all my apps (free) and left negative reviews: and other similar reviews on my other apps, which included some personal and racial attacks. It was quite bizarre actually, as it was a complete stranger. Anyway after contacting Apple, they promptly removed the reviews for me as they deemed them inappropriate as well.

An american(I assume) decided to write the most constructive and though out comment I ever saw in my life: It was just sad to see that every time we were watching our reviews.

The developers should be shot." Personally don't think that any developer should be shot because they have a terrible game, but I may be biased. We more recently got this one: "I've seen POTATOES with better graphics!?!" We know the graphics for War Evolved aren't the greatest ever seen, but really, potatoes?
