The Common Room / Public Family Trees

Hi,
I know so many posts have been made on this subject but I don't know whether to pursue this one or not.
There is a tree on An.... that has nearly all my Grandfather's family on it, including my grandmother who is still living. The person has the right name & marriage but wrong birth details. I contacted this member & kindly asked that they make my grandmother private as she is still living and also pointed out that her birth details were wrong.
The person promptly replied hat he had deleting her all together (without questing her birth details). The when looking more closely I found that the person had gone completely wrong on one part of his tree (my family) and was just copying records willy nilly (one person for example has a mother called Sarah & Father George but the baptism record saved to this person has completely different name and was baptised in a different area as to where he was supposedly born. I have the correct records for this family as I have done extensive research on them.
Question, do I start pointing out the mistakes or just leave well alone. My tree in private but it seems he has no interest in my input. I am sure that I will find many more mistakes as this person has added so much in the last week.
