I think his point is that, because of that negative comment his methods and results will never actually put to the test of whether they will be useful to the community; however, given the volume of new papers coming out it is unlikely for that paper to be picked up by the community as is, with or without comments. The best way to get people interested is in establishing direct relationships (ideally in person: go present at a relevant conference, engage with people in the community).
