Even the experienced reader will have problems.  His style of talking is
just bullying.  It's intended to shock and frighten, not to inform and
educate.  I'm sure his assessment of the quality of the code was right, as
was his decision to object.  He could have said the code was below an
acceptable standard, but chose to call it crap to insult and belittle the
contributor.  That's bullying.
