I never cared about rating articles. That is highly subjective and the value is always subjective.
I have been burning time on Internet for years and I can honestly say that for the last couple of years I have seen a decreased number of attacks like the one above. Swearing you say? Well..the guy spent 400$ on something he can not use. Keep in mind that while in North America or Europe people can make 400$/h or /day at the opposite end of the work it takes a month or so... not sure if you get it! You would swear too believe me!
The other point that you are missing, and that is even more "so 1970s" to say so, is that the Internet (yes you are on Internet!) is open to everybody and not all of us were born in an English speaking country. Having Chinese (for instance) as primary language and speaking and writing English (with BAD GRAMMAR) makes you more valuable than speaking just PERFECT English and attacking the FORM of the message not the CONTENT.
PF
PS: What would you do if you buy a device made and designed in China and you find a grammar/spelling issue in the interface of the device? I am sure you would return it...
PS2: I am using ezPDF reader for reading PDFs on my Pocket Edge. The guy who wrote the program seem to barely speak English. No English manual (I could not find one) and there are some mistakes that even I can spot... believe me the program is just amazing. I am now thinking of returning it.
PS3 and the most important, in order to be consistent with your attitude here please read the messages in the thread where M92 is reviewed and rate the thread according with your criteria. I am sure you will find a lot more mistakes there than here...and the rating will become negative. Luckily the other do appreciate the content and do not care about the form of the message.
