I haven't been able to read the review, and still can't access it, but haven't been a fan of Jim Sterling's work on Destructoid. The important point is though he shouldn't be denied a platform because you disagree with what he says, especially not when that involves deliberately crashing his website.

Disagree with him? Explain why, write a blog, comment on the review, post something to Youtube. It is an age-old problem with gaming, though. Only last month the US Gamer reviewer that awarded Horizon 2.5/5 received death-threats and insults for their trouble. It's a sign of the immaturity still there in the medium, and the license to cause harm the anonymity of the internet seemingly provides for some people.

Movie reviewers are able to have contrary opinions on major films, whether it's the latest hotly praised blockbuster or an Oscar darling. Game reviewers should be afforded the same freedom.
