I admire your sensitivity Jen and I wouldn't want to go blast him for his art. I have discovered from being a member here that the best way to help with critisism is to point out the flaws and then give advice on what would make the image better. That kind of response tends to balance out making the critique neither bad nor good but helpful in opening the artists eyes to other posibilities. Please don't think I'm having a bash at you, I'm not, and I understand where your coming from. I just wish that this person could think more positively about what is being said to him and not to respond to people with threats, although perhaps he can't understand the difference between advice and a direct put down.
