In this particular case though there was no evidence that the poor bloke made this harmless joke out of contemption. It was merely conjecture. I bet that it didn't even occur to the mod that it could've just been a harmless quip in a thread that was already overflowing in contentless hype posts anyway.
While ownership might not be a reason or justification for flaming it definitely validates criticism. Firstly because that person actually owns the thing he is criticizing and as such has first hand information and secondly that it's an actual purchased product that demands criticism by the person who actually put money for it on the table, be it positive or negative.
Ownership might also be an indication that the hate for a certain product can't be too strong, especially in case of a preorder.

I wasn't saying that you deserved a moderation. The argument you added after the first sentence was bad, that's all. Even some of the biggest haters can prove ownership, so ownership in and of itself really means absolutely nothing.

Just because a thing means nothing in some cases doesn't mean it should be automatically assumed to mean nothing for everyone. We should assume the best case first until it becomes obvious.
