You have every right to disagree, ignore them, etc. But if you really feel that someone is demanding something, perhaps you should take a moment and cool off. I do not read any messages here as a demand on you at all.

I'm not going to compare this to a cup of coffee, as that analogy has been beaten to death.

I think you may be underestimating the volume difference in paying users you're likely to get with a one-time vs subscription model. Looking at similar apps on the market, I suspect you would earn more revenue overall with a one-time payment (many more users paying slightly less each).
