Fwiw, the forum explicitly discourages unnecessary rudeness (and encourages kindness). I think tone is part of that and the voting system is a reasonable mechanism for setting that norm. But there’s room for disagreement.
If the original poster came back and edited in response to feedback or said that the tone wasn’t intentional, I’d happily remove my downvote.
