Every single response in this thread so far has ignored this request.

The request was completely unreasonable. Cedric does not get to unilaterally set restrictions on who and how people respond to a screed in a public forum.

the rest I have to say about the topic would violate the above request.

You have my permission to violate the above request. That should have at least as much authority as the request itself, so you are hereby empowered to respond as you like.
