His site shows up in search engines as test reviews. That's dishonest. I'm expressing my opinion. His site is 90% crap.
Which science fiction writer once said that a sci-fi fan once came up to him at a convention and told [the writer] that '90% of sci-fi is crap' - to which the writer replied:
'Yes indeed - but 90% of *everything* is crap.'

Perhaps the fact that this is colloquially known, in SF circles, as "Sturgeon's Law" would help you identify the writer in question?
In fact it has also spread from SF circles to 'hacker' circles (in the non-perjorative, pre-script-kiddy use of the word); there's an entry for "Sturgeon's Law" in the Jargon File.
