Looks like a shill account[^] created to support an article, and he's on a vendetta against Paulo Zemek. Here's an example[^] of the type of message.

Too bad many messages of this member were removed due to abuse reports. I finally reported against this person, but only after thorough reading the surviving messages, because I would be afraid of making a mistake and support wrong side. I could expect that abrasive satirical notes by Paulo Zemec could cause some natural irritated reaction, expressed in correct and factual form. No, it wasn't. It was the usual fallacy of giving personal characteristics, completely baseless, rude and incorrect; we already have too much of it. I already tied to make a point: there is a delicate watershed between criticism, unpleasant but based on facts and personal accusation. Criticism itself is one of the driving force of progress. In my conclusion, Paulo did not cross the line, but Ron Jardine apparently did; it went so far to suggest something I would call "ethnism", by the analogy with "racism", "sexism" and other similar "isms"; that is seen from the "accusation" in being a "temporary foreign worker".
Anyway, thank you for writing this abuse report. After all, it involved me in interesting discussion on the topic of the article itself. 
I would only note: I already faced a number of similar vendetta-style comments, and even worse (using bad words, more explicit offending expressions, etc.); and I think we are going loose the reputation of this site if we tolerate them. Often, reporting in this forum does not lead to account cancellation.
[EDIT]
If you look at the new comments to this article, you might share my hope that the situation tends to normalize. Reasonable, weighted and calm arguments can always help.

He's a clever one, using real words and everything. For his next trick - spelling and grammar.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

1. Is there something wrong with posting a link to a survey for one's research?
2. The link didn't even work.
3. Perhaps just reply to the message.
4. Why post a link to the member for one message?

Member link removed. Further, its site driving some how which is not allowed. We are not here to fill up their survey forms regardless of availability of that link(I have not accessed it yet)

I see people posting links to their sites all the time, especially in signatures, and people only seem to have a problem with newbies doing it.
Just saying.

I had very long discussion with Chris over this issue and he told me that there is nothing wrong in using ones own work as a signature.

IMO, a link to a survey was not promoting anything and should be fine.
Just my useless opinion.

Agree... the only "sin" I found is that he could have choosen the forum for "Beta tests / Collaboration".
Regarding the request, I see no big difference between:
I am having problems in my degree project. My code is...
and
I need help to complete my degree research. Please answer this survey...
Other thing is if the link doesn't really point to a survey. Then hammer out and no mercy.

Based on the Subject I almost marked this message as spam.

It's gone - he isn't.
And the hamsters read this page - so they can sometimes clean up the mess before we get to the disappear-from-spam-votes point.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

That doesn't mean that only seldom visited corner's content should be reported here.
