This is going to sound snotty, but arguments were made for people who sort of knew what they were doing. You probably shouldn't be touching the comments box if you don't know what it does. These thoughts were written assuming a basic understanding of the language they were written on.

The word you’re looking for is “condescending”.

Regardless, there is no argument about software freedom to be made here.

You’re allowed, be it open or close source, to write and publish software that defies common, well-established conventions.

You can pretend that it’s some sort of first amendment right to do so if you like, and attempt to deflect your unwillingness to write software that behaves properly as incompetence on the users’ end.

But whether anyone will be convinced by that is a separate question, and those who aren’t convinced certainly have the right to tell you, in turn, that your software sucks. This does not inflige on your rights to write broken software.
