I am not going to debate about the meat of your proposition.
Separate from the debate, when someone cordially requests something, it is common courtesy to oblige.
He said, "NO personal comments about my way of doing things please."
The first thing you did was point to his personal way of doing things. You did this against his request. That's not cool.
Its reasons like this that many people do not post due to fear of being ridiculed. It stifles conversation and creates unnecessary silence, exactly the opposite of a forums purpose. I struggle, not to understand your proposition, but with why common courtesy can't be honored.
