As a matter of interest, do these template responses make it clear that they are indeed templates and not hand written?
They don't read as particularly condescending to me, but I imagine that if one was used in error or with questionable judgement it might well come off that way.
Is there any mechanism for quality control on how they are used?
Also, any closed question can be reopened by community vote whether it was closed by a moderator or by voting.

Oh, the irony.
Irony, no. My tone here is a response to being called overzealous and condescending. It has nothing to do with my attitude when I'm acting as moderator on SO.
No, I wasn't taking a tone. If I was I wouldn't say that I wasn't. If you perceived a tone, it's on your end. I'd thank you to not call me a liar.

Condescendingly telling someone "nobody is taking a tone with you." That's the irony you're missing.
