As a moderator, I agree with David that this comment doesn’t abide by community norms.
It’s not a serious offense, because “oh dear” is a mild comment that isn’t especially detrimental to a conversation on its own. But if a reply implies that a post or comment is representative of some bad trend, or that the author should feel bad/embarrassed about what they wrote, and doesn’t actually say why, it adds a lot more heat than light.

This community is entering a rough patch, I feel.

I commented that the above comment doesn’t abide by community norms, but I don’t think this comment does, either.
