As I would see the situation:

Terry has never treated people on this list with any
disrespect. Disagreeing with someone should not be considered disrespect.
Even pontification is okay by me, it is my choice to accept the advice or
not.

There are many ways to do anything, the term "best" is
subjective from an artistic perspective, even without taking into
consideration the chemical variances. It is why most of us say "What I have
found best". It's a minefield.
What nasty, heavy, and snide remarks has Terry made? I have
personally gotten some of those remarks from some people when this list has
gone into one of it's (fortunately infrequent) spasm's. But never from
Terry.

And the idea that he is not "allowed" to remark or answer
or otherwise comment upon another's postings sounds a lot like....

This is everyones list, and if anyone doesn't want to listen to
what Terry has to say, their mailreader probably has a filter to not accept
his posts. If not maybe they should get one that does. But they will be
missing a lot.
