Unfortunately, the entire commentary is not quoted here so I have no idea what you are referring to.

....then I read "to you"
I went back to the post and found this:

So I wrote: "To you!", meaning that I see this as your opinion or personal experience but not as a disagreement.

Here again, I've gone back to the original commentary to find this:

I wrote "To each his own." to merely indicate that I am OK with whatever path or process you or anybody wishes to take or follow but not to agree or disagrees with your choices.
I don't see agreeing or disagreeing as a very healthy way to discuss things whereas personal choices might work better in a discussion. I have my unique preferences and assume that others also have unique preferences as well and those preferences do not need to be identical for me to have a useful, friendly discussion with others.
