What an idiotic comment! Descriptivists aren't told what to think nor do they tell others what they must and mustn't do as regards language.
That is the province of prescriptivists like you. That was the sum total of your peeves threads - a bunch of dolts spreading lies that they had heard about language,
with not an original thought from the lot, certainly not from you.
Let me remind you JTT, that your descriptive language is mostly not your original thoughts.
I suggest you to list 10 examples of McTag's "silly lies" on English language here. Keep in mind: No evidence to stand, no right to spout.
