You are correct it came across as rude and condescending, I apologize.
It was a knee jerk reaction that came from reading many such posts that XFS is no good because it caused X where X came about because people didn't know how to implement XFS safely or correctly.
Of course I'm not trying to make any legitimately bad experiences any less legitimate. We all have them, and over a long enough period of time, with most file systems.
