eyestrain has a right to his opinion; but it is smart to examine what he gets out of it.
Inadequate insulation has become a sore point in the industry over tha past decade. Codes have called for an improvement of duct wrap to R6 from R4 in flex duct. While this is an improvement it is ridiculous in a year when fuel costs have almost doubled to have ducts throwing heat away at 1960's insulation standards. Walls are now a minimum of R14, and so should the ducts that carry heat and cooling. If eyestrain is successful in lulling homeowners into thinking that inadequate insulation is OK, then the industry ripoff salesmen can continue to sell cheap installation, while running homeowners into fuel poverty.
He has another gain in his mind as a flamer. He becomes one-up by putting down. Here is a link to explain the flame game:

Here is one of the ploys he is using:
"Another flame approach to watch for is another newbie entering the site to comment about the way you talked to someone else. As they have no real business of answering the original question, their only reason for commenting is to give a political harangue on your character. If you explain clearly the reason behind challenging the original poster, they will respond with a flame that you were showing bad character. Another tag team member will then come on to comment upon your response. Neither of these tag team members will give any useful answer about the original post unless you challenge them to respond to the first post to show that they can answer the question better than you can."
