Seems contradictory to buy a low quality item based on unfair reviews, complain about that fact, then go on saying that reviewers owe nothing to anyone. They obviously owe a modicum of honesty and objectivity to other potential buyers. Why would you leave a review if not to inform other buyers ?

The other reason for a review is to complain to the seller. And it worked beautifully, he got his money back, and the seller lost money.

I wonder if perhaps, just perhaps, it was indeed a faulty item

Well in this case I left a review because the seller was hassling me for one. Personally I have little trust in reviews. By the way, I wasn't complaining in my original post, just stating facts.

I would have just updated my review with the relevant info that they gave you a free replacement and then followed up by asking you to remove your review.
