If this guy was as scared during the flight as he is saying, he is going to tell everyone who will listen to him about his experience. It would be good if he could obtain a helpful and professional response to his enquiry/comment rather than attacking him. Otherwise he will just add this to his complaint / experience.
I am sure a local GOM pilot will be able to address some of his fears and concerns and make him feel a bit better about what happened, maybe even the driver who scared the &*^% out of him. He probably doesnt know much...... but he's giving us an opportunity here.
Lets play nice.
