Review of A Popular Crochet Pattern

I am not one to openly speak bad about another crocheters designs,...I know the work that is put into them.....However this one,...I could not let it go past me.
Bohemian Vest Pattern Review.....
Designed by http://www.theedgeof17.com/wearvest.htm
Poorly written pattern,….It is vague in spots,..a “pattern” is not meant to be free-formed,…the written pattern and the “chart drawings” contradict themselves,….For the cost of the pattern I would have expected it to be much more clear and precise. VERY DISAPPOINTED,….I should not have to rewrite a paid pattern.
The pattern for her vest was originally a free pattern from another web site. She took it and tweaked it enough so she could sell it and make a profit off of it. https://mirincondecrochet.wordpress.com/2011/05/06/soberbio-chaleco-circular/
I proceeded to contact the designer,….she informed me that I had an older copy of the pattern,…yet she has REFUSED to send me an updated copy of the pattern simply because I can not tell her who or when it was bought as it was bought and gifted to me in a swap group. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ALL!!!
AFTER CONVERSING WITH PATTERN DESIGNER
She decided to report me as having an internet virus in my message links to her as her way of saying leave me alone. All messages have been screenshot and will be used in conjunction with any and all reviews that I leave.

It's a little shady to me that everytime someone post something bad about her pattern in the crafting community,...it disappears.
