For example;

"but surely that is the point, no?"

It just comes across as so bloody smarmy.

Feel free to kick me in the head for this, this is AIBU.

I think many responses can be seen as patronising.
For me it's the >sigh< when someone doesn't agree with you but then I guess you can't tell what tone/expression is being used....so I just wince a bit and let it go.

How can you be unreasonable for finding something irritating, btw? It's not like you're going to hunt down the posters and execute them.

Is it??

I always assumed that those posters had English as a second language, as it seems like a foreign sentence construction.

I agree about the >sigh
