Comment on Don't you find it disappointing that people apply Herd Mentality for upvoting top comments, even if it's not the best one out there?

I’m not sure if I’d like to excuse any way of talking. I like that direct way of talking. They attacked a decision, not any person. I also like to say whatever i want while solving problems, without any complicated social etiquette or putting additional effort in social interactions. Sometimes I’m right, sometimes somebody else tells me I made a bad descision. I can handle that. I just think being blunt, overstepping a bit or being allowed to vent is a healty way of dealing with human emotions. (Within boundaries.)

I'd agree with that except they are doing it as a public-facing "official" statement, which generally should be a bit more "professional" in tone IMO. I would certainly describe it as an attack. At its more charitable it was just incredibly passive aggressive and unnecessary. You can say "we believe this is a mistake" without accusing people of being ignorant.
