Was it not worth putting it in clear words exactly what you meant when you said it was ironic that this post "dictates the terms".. and decided that by quoting without context really settles a question which is asking to please provide a clearer meaning to your words which say "he is telling people how they should do things" very clearly with "dictating terms". Your observation of irony is... wrong. Your observation of dictating terms, is also wrong as he didn't tell anyone what to do, dictating as a verb and how you used it is conveying a specific sentiment, and this authority figure which is inherently in the figure of speech dictating terms, and especially when you allude that you can observe dictating from the statement about the internet not being the best place for people who have a difficult time discussing the valid points because they have tripped over some perceived infraction in logic land, a place that is never questioned, dare I.
