You obviously didn't read the thread. Wow. I NEVER saw him. Period.
Suffer? What do you call losing income? Worry and Stress? A stroll in the park? Excuse me, you called it inconsequential I believe.
I guess I have no rights as a provider, according to you, and am required to wear whatever someone comes along and says about me regardless if they have any proof of having ever even met me.
That is like a blind person reviewing gallery art and being respected as a critic. Would any classical artist who has spent their time and talent to create a work of art accept such a critic? Should they have to? I mean they are a mere artist... surely only what the collector thinks matters... The collector investing in a true passion for fine art. Who cares that both artist and connoisseur are in reality both being conned. The artist's talent wasted, and the collector who really admired that piece of art, but instead believed that blind critic (because peer pressure told him to) and lost out on a masterpiece.
Does that sound logical? Is it fair to anyone? Does anyone win except the blind critic? So tell me why fake reviews written about providers benefit anyone and should just be "Blindly" accepted.
By Fake, I mean one thing. Phony. An Imitation otherwise known as a cheap knock off. The session NEVER happened and the review is a work of fiction. In this case, a work of historical fiction which he counted on to lend credibility, but, nevertheless FICTION.
Fantasy and Fiction are not the same either. Fantasy is what I strive to provide, Fiction is what you guys try to avoid.
"David" okee dokee. I'm blinded by your stunning repertoire and cunning linguistic ability. You win. You're always right, you are the smartest guy on eccie and we all should nominate you as the Giant Talking Head... you know like the Great and Terrible Wizard of Oz.

I did notice that the reviewer spoke at least as plainly, and far less dramatically, than you and reasserted what he said in his review.
No one wins.
You're not going to win any converts by complaining.
You, at best, are going to get a chorus of affirmation from people who want to believe you (for a variety of differing reasons I'm sure) interspersed by protests from those that don't.
Do the math and, in aggregate, you'll find that this type of crying about a negative review is (generally) going to alienate those on the fence and polarize those with strong feelings either way.
Me? I have no dog in the fight. And I believe you no more than I believe the reviewer. And that is based 100% on the words that have been said.
