This is almost too polite to be Stack Exchange satire.

I feel like a lot of commenters here mistake passive-aggression for politness.

Well I guess some of us just have a higher tolerance for passive-aggression.

Nowadays it seems like every other comment on Stack Exchange is full of forced and phony politeness. That's in their rules too.

A bit like HN in that regard.
