By that reasoning, should anyone feel free to change your code in a way
we know you dislike and that would be fine?  And you'd just let that
stand?  I don't think so.

I would have done the changes to disable the code on windows, but Juanma
was just quicker (so thanks, but no thanks) and intentionally chose to
be confrontational, as seen from all his extremely aggressive followup
emails and continuous misinterpretation and badgering.  I don't like to
tolerate bullies like that.
