Sure, I considered similar notions, but I edited them out because they didn't seem compatible with assuming good faith (and made it a lot easier to not include swipes).
No one is obliged to change your mind (indeed, you are the only person who can possibly do that [the comment was later edited from 'change' to 'open', which I think is more reasonable]), and seeing as you more or less did argue for this position, I don't think you should complain.
