Exclude specific user_id from args in get_comments

Looks like I had to figure this one out myself.

replace $comment_meta_args and $replies with

global $wpdb;
 $comment_meta_args="SELECT * FROM `$wpdb->comments`
 WHERE `comment_approved` = 1
 AND    `comment_parent` = (". intval($parent_comment_id) .")
 AND `user_id` != 1 ORDER BY  comment_date ASC LIMIT 3";

$replies=$wpdb->get_results($comment_meta_args);
