Frankly, if I were Daniel, I'd be pissed already.  I think he is
perfectly correct to remind people that his blog is not the place for
LilyPond advocacy.  Since it is also not the place to go into real depth
concerning what LilyPond is and what not, there is little point in
bringing it up in the first place.

When he states things for which LilyPond provides a valid counterthesis
or counterexample, pointing out an example may be in order.

But for statements like "I changed to LilyPond and never looked back"
and similar is simply wrong.

He does have misconceptions about LilyPond, but his blog is not the
place to address them.  Yes, that's unfortunate, but please behave like
one would expect guests to behave.  We are not doing our case a favor by
making a spectacle where it is not asked for.
