Well without typing it all out I will just give you a link of a previous discussion on this topic.

Far as being told that a/c cycling is not for lubrication as well I would suggest pulling the A/c fuse, you will be replacing the seals soon.

I don't see anything in that thread suggesting that the compressor comes on just to circulate oil. All that seems to be being discussed there is how much the a/c should cycle in normal operation. For what it's worth mine doesn't seem to cycle, but it's normally very hot most of the year, so the load in the system is high. Anyway, I don't think that's at all relevant to what the op is asking.
And what are you talking about as far as replacing seals? Are suggesting not to run your a/c because it will wear out seals? If so that's just ridiculous.

No, I did not say not to run your a/c because it will ruin the seals.. What I said is the exact opposite of that. You said cycling (a/c clutch engaging on and off) has nothing to do with lubrication when in fact it's part of the process when a A/c clutch is engaged.
My suggestion to you was if you don't believe it's part of the process try removing the fuse that allows the A/c clutch to operate and see how long that works out for you.

Nothing you are saying makes any sense. The refrigerant oil circulates when the compressor is running, and obviously the compressor can only run when the clutch is engaged. And again, none of that is relevant to what the op asked.
I don't know what you expect pulling a fuse for the clutch is going to accomplish other than having the a/c not run.

When it comes to addressing the OP question explaining the process is in fact relevant, lubrication is part of that process.
Pulling the fuse was directed towards you when you said lubrication has nothing to do with it, pulling that fuse will cause premature seal failure.
Anyways I am done with this childish bickering.
