Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
I have no idea how you got the idea that cycloptic was being disingenuous, evangelising or trying to save you "for my denial of The One True UNIX Way".
> I clearly neither asked for, nor want your suggestions! (from below)
On HN most people like to chip in what they think might be suggestions. Either say thanks, but no thanks, or just say nothing instead of being rather rude.

I have no other way to explain the sequence of events that occurred. I expressed doubt that anyone could think the Linux file hierarchy organization was "nice", they responded that it isn't "required" and that AppImage exists. What are they trying to convince me of? What "help" did my post suggest that I needed? I'm sorry, I'm trying to be reasonable here, but no one has yet explained to me how else I could possibly have interpreted that post.
