It seems rather strange to me that you would bring in features that no mass market ebook I know of supports and end with your claim that the comment is offensive.

So perhaps the real question is exactly how the comment offended you? That diapdealer likes his ebooks to be digital version of deadtree books with no extraneous content to distract him? That is his opinion and he is entitled to express it. You are equally free to disagree with him with no need to play the political correctness card.
