Of course, it doesn't have to be said in a mean or offensive way back (and I'm not batting all that well at that this week - in cyberspace or IRL, I'm afraid), but I think there's a place for saying something like "was this post (or this tone) really necessary?"
Oh, oops! My problem is once I get going, I can get mean, and since I like the overall tone of MR and don't want it to change, I steer away from it. Plus i'm having a really rotten day, and am a little more cranky than usual.

I wish I could be like Patricia. Always polite but gets her point across
