Not the person you replied to, but you’re making a specious argument. This is (a partial quote of) what was said at the start of the thread:

> Honestly, being thanked in any shape or form does nothing for me, Id rather have users be more considerate of our time and not abuse issues and the community for supporting their laziness.

You’re warping the argument by calling the response a straw man. I agreed with GP on feeling annoyed by thanks that are actually feature requests, but they went on to say that all thanks was unwelcome. Nothing was taken out of context.

No, the parent comment said any form which includes the type of thanks where someone is sincerely grateful. It’s not out of context, the person doesn’t like people to display their appreciation for his work.

It's not out of context. He first gave a specific example of what kind of "thanks" he doesn't like, but then with the part I quoted he made clear that he not only doesn't like those hypocritical thank yous attached to feature requests, but that he doesn't want/care to be thanked "in any shape or form". That's a crystal clear statement that was not taken out of context.
