Our comments are no more disruptive, so we shouldn't write them. The other comments are at most as disruptive & fine.
Something seems off when I combine those premises.
You also make a key observation here: the root comment is fine and on-topic. The the replies spin off into nothing to do with the headline, but the example in the comment. Makes it really hard to critique with coming across as fun police.
Also, worth noting there's a distinction here, we're not in simonw's thread: we're in a brand new account's imitation of it.
