The comparison is flawed. I am not forcing anyone to use free software.
I try to convince with arguments.

No; you are not trying to convince, with or without arguments, but you attempt 
to dictate what we can and cannot do.

Wont work.

You are asserting something without any support. Dicating implies
coercion. Show how I am coercing or trying to coerce people.

By saying we "should" do something.

You _should_ immediately throw all of your money down the drain.

Did you do that (or better: would you have, if the message ended with the previous phrase)?. Of course not. Why not?. Because it seems absurd. to you You would only have done so if I *convinced* you; that is by definition, the antithesis of forcing and dictating inasmuch as it refers to coercion (as in the word "dictator").

The conclusion is that saying "should" through the Internet to a stranger has no coercive power and therefore it is not "dictating".
