Todd claimed that complaints were mostly hypothetical, so johnm noted that 
there were non-hypothetical cases.
Telling him to turn the feature off is no solution whatsoever because that's 
not what the discussion is about (and I'm sure he knew - at least after the 
discussion that has been going on - there are ways to turn it off).
It is implying that his argument is invalid, and, well, that's a way of 
talking in absolutes: you either like it or you should just turn it off and 
keep silent.

(By the way: I like the feature even though it has annoyed me too when I 
accidentally ripped e.g. Eric5 out of the maximised mode, so: I'm not a hater)
