I actually don't think I went too far. I think that, perhaps through unfamiliarity, you have massively over-estimated how technical the term "bar end" is in the context. That's honestly the only way that I can reconcile your characterization of the examples I gave as "extreme" while continuing to maintain that suggesting the same be done in this article is perfectly reasonable. Within the respective contexts of those articles, "bar end" is a much more well-known term than "pythonic." "Font proof," I suppose you could argue it depends on whether you define the target audience for the article as programmers or specifically people who deal with fonts. But either way we can at least say that it's specific to a very fine context, that, at the very least, is only a subset of the topics covered by the blog where it was written. Unlike this biking article. Also, yes, it does come across as entitled. For example: > And I don't assume these people feel entitled. I think they just want writers to... Right there, the direct object of the sentence, "writers." That's the problem. This isn't just wanting to know something, or deciding that an article doesn't suit you and deciding to move on. Both of those would be fine reactions. This is expecting another person, someone you don't even know, to do extra work and tailor their creative output to your tastes, for no other reason than that you feel entitled to ask them to do so.
