I'd have to agree, that in this case if nothing further is said, people are only going to see the vitriol on the Mindcraft page and draw their own conclusions about Linux users. But what are the alternatives, assuming we're dealing with general public opinion? It's impossible to post coherent rebuttals or such-like for every drooling polemic that makes its way into the ether. And in this particular case, I don't think it's likely Mindcraft would post any intelligent feedback it got, anyway. What do you think would be a good way to promote some constructive PR?
As far as not knowing how to respond to that, I think you answered your own question: Click 'Delete'. It's been my experience that attempting a rebuttal to that kind of bile just throws on more fuel for the flames.
