Talking about it hypothetically is a cop out.
It’s clear from the paper that Terence has no idea what the process of a peer review is, so maybe start by educating him on that.
By assuming he doesn’t know what peer review is (something anyone can google) you have guaranteed that someone will find your response douchey. By not giving a peer review you have also been dismissive.
Any honest, relevant response to Terrence Howard would be interpreted by someone as douchey.
