These kind of snide comments don't address the point and it really
bugs me, just like the typical political response of "if you don't
like 'x' then move to another country".

Richard is simply explaining how he thinks and feels, his point of
view. Most people are aware that it is within their rights to
implement software as they so choose. Be confident enough in your
opinion and viewpoint to let others opinions stand without this kind
of nonsense.
