I thought my response was fairly constructive! "Dismissive" would be a lazier comment such as "Crap". I didn't want to pick it to pieces line-by-line, and I have neither the time nor the inclination to do so at the moment.
I have submitted an article to UKC, it was published, nobody shot it down, it's gone now (for the My First Lead competition last year).
The defences offered for the article in question are also dismissive of every criticism levelled at it! They're basically inverting the words used by those who dared to voice a negative opinion.
