I haven't been able to follow the core of the discussion, partly 
because I don't know the technical issues and partly because I didn't 
quite understand your question but for a different perspective on 
'nice' I actually thought the responses you received were trying to be 
helpful; they were warning you against a certain approach to your 
issue (especially about using Windows or thinking AV is needed on 
Linux).

I think curmudgeons can put people off but I didn't think people were 
being curmudgeonly to you (or didn't intend to be) but instead 
critical of Windows or Windows-like approaches.

they were pressing the case one doesn't need AV on Linux as such, at 
least not if properly configured. this seems helpful.

this seems to support my interpretation.
