Through trial and a lot of error, I've learned to ignore ratings here on BGG...except those of my geekbuddies, whom I pick with care. They have led me to several great games (for me at least) in the last year that were rated under 7.0
So, he values the ratings of all of BGG and you don't. So what. Maybe he considers all the BGG users to be his "geekbuddies". I don't have time to play all the games that look interesting to me, so I look to ratings and comments for guidance. I also find value in the suggested number of players, and with some rare exceptions, I tend to agree with the community.
And the OP played the game, so why are you focusing on the one comment regarding other user's ratings?
To the OP: good review, but "The Review" section at the end would read better if you broke it up, rather than one block of text.
His (and yours apparently) idea of a good review and follow up comments don't correspond with mine, and I'll leave it at that.
So a Review has to agree with your predetermined views on a game? You do realise a Review is just an opinion piece.
