It's tough to win the "I hope you die of cancer" demographic regardless of your actions, so why bother trying?

(I have particular interest in this because geeks often cite them as the rationale for why not to price aggressively, because they complain about prices at every price point, including free.)

many years ago in a an online disagreement someone wished testicular cancer upon me, which was flattering, because if he really wished ill upon me he would have hoped for something that is far worse like stomach cancer (few survive that).

It just tells you about demographic- that is, this is a person for whom orchiectomy is a fate worse than certain death.
