I suppose that if they, or yourself, did not find anything of worth then they can ignore the response altogether. But other people did immediately get the reaction that I was going for which is to point out the poor nature of the article in an incisive and humorous way. By simply reiterating the author's words for a second review out of the context of the article, a reader can immediately realize that the comparison does not make sense, and then think more critically about the article. We can't just take science at face value, that's the best part about science. The reply was shared twice before I was muted. I think flagamuffin was a little heavy handed instead of actually discussing this like you have.
