Now intellectually I *know* I should treat both responses the same

Guy, I know that many other admins are that kind of person,
especially among the newer ones. In the real world too, those who can
listen to 2) and not get upset over it are the ones with a chance of
getting some degree of co-operation and possibly reform.
