You claim that no other site would give a reason to install Silverlight. Someone mentions Netflix, a popular website which depends on Silverlight being installed. You then say that you would prefer not using Netflix to installing Silverlight. Your comment then becomes

1) A non sequitur. Your own choice has no bearing on the last two comments except to voice your own feelings about silverlight.

2) A suggestion that your own feelings for Silverlight reflect the vast majority of broadband Internet users, directly contradicting all available data.

I chose the most charitable interpretation of your comment, as option 1) is clearly off-topic and not relevant to the thread or the article.

You got that partly right. I have no need for Silverlight.

Maybe you are reading too much in my comment. Anyway, Silverlight adoption is low, pointing out few people feel the need to install it.
