Where are you getting this information from?

IMO there is nothing wrong with the comment you're replying to. They didn't say that they didn't appreciate the gesture. Just that it taught them that they needed to be more explicit about the priorities of requests.

A different thread of conversation in this post is arguing over what good faith means.

The above poster is clearly not showing good faith because they're assuming negative behaviors. That's where they got the information from.
