I never claimed Nikos was "innocent".  I was complaining 
about responses, driven by frustration or hostility, that 
go beyond reasonable and become so dogmatic and absolutist 
that they themselves become wrong.  Nikos (or anyone else) 
is right to reject such responses.

Yes.  If he is too difficult to help without getting
angry because he won't do what you (generic) tell him
then perhaps a more constructive response is to stop
trying to help him rather than join the lynch mob that
is making the atmosphere here far worse (IMO) than
Nikos alone could.  However, I have made that argument
in the past and am not interested in rearguing it.
