I do. Stop talking about how disappointed you are in particular commenters on the thread, and confine your expression to disappointment in particular comments. If you don't even have to be as performatively "polite" as you've tried to be; you can just come out and directly say what you don't like about the arguments you're responding to.

Thank you for your feedback.

If you feel any of my comments violate HN commenting guidelines [0] feel free to quote them and/or reach out to dang.

Here are some examples; I wasn't able to find any references to "performative politeness":

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

> Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

> When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

> Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize.

> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

Oh, I wrote that last comment because you asked me to.
