When I investigate reports I don't just look at the ratings list and make a snap judgement. I look for patterns and distributions in the ratings. In this case:
He hasn't rated every album by a band
He has rated over a reasonable cross-section of genres with emphasis on genres he really likes
He hasn't given low ratings to albums that are "competing" for chart position with the albums he likes He has rated 137 albums since January 2006, that's an average of 21 albums per year.Nothing there indicates any form of abuse. Sure he's given nothing but 5-star ratings, but that is not a crime.
So the conclusion is: He only rated albums he likes.

Still strange, but I'll leave it then.
I also assume Dean has better things to do.

Haha Never had a run-in with Dean? I must say, I like that guy's taste, but it seems like Dean is right that he is just rating what he really, really likes. Some people don't care that much about tearing down what they don't like.

That's not sarcasm, it's just an assessment of the guy's ratings.
You report something, I assess it and report back.
If you like I could just ignore all these reports. (now that's sarcastic)

No it isn't. It's someone rating the albums they like.

Wow, that is a lot of 1 star ratings and 5 star ratings. I guess people don't have anything better to do.
