I like to think those people at least read the sample first... I admit I was curious and read part of the sample, but it wasn't worth leaving a review since it was already at critical mass.

I went to her blog - she is also an artist, not a bad artist at all - I rather liked some of her abstracts. Let's remember she is a real person, has feelings (albeit an admittedly thin skin and anger management issues) and is just grammatically challenged.

Real person or not (hey, maybe she's not!), she really shouldn't have said what she said. You can't go off on a reviewer like that in a public forum. Ever. For any reason. A beat-down was appropriate, though it was certainly allowed to go on too long.
