To be fair, his response was “How about you implement bulk correctly
instead? Seems a better solution to me.” (according to Dan). That doesn’t
suggest that ToS be altered, rather that (as Lar saw it) a feature be
(re-)implemented correctly.

I’m not clear on what the distinction is; was he not suggesting a change in
the way BL operates rather than bring his listing within the ToS? Does that
not imply that he wanted the ToS changed?

Does “suggesting a change” really seem to you to be the same as “dictating?”
Seriously?
Maybe you think it’s just a matter of spin, but your first (unfounded) claim is
simply incorrect (based on all the evidence I have) and your most recent claim
is exactly correct. While Larry was attempting to get Dan to permit him to
bring the wording into Dan’s unspecified field of blessing, Larry suggested a
change to the system.
Now, you seem to think that Larry -- regardless of his circumstances (what if
he’d been hiking the Kamchatkan wilderness?), should have read Dan’s mind as to
what exactly he didn’t like, further projected himself into the future to read
Dan’s mind in response to every possible change, and then implemented exactly
the change that Dan would like. I think that Dan should have given Larry
specific explanation of what was unaccpetable. Because it sounds like Larry’s
correction of his verbiage should have satisfied the spirit AND letter of Dan’s
objection.
Scott, step back for a second and ask yourself if you’re being reasonable. If
the victim in question were someone you liked and respected instead of Larry,
would you really take this stance? If it’s personal, why not drop it? Even if
Larry has, in the past, behaved poorly toward you beyond good taste.
