Contra Wirecutter on the IKEA air purifier

Really? You don't think there is anything aggressive or vitriolic?

"Well, perhaps we should, I don’t know, read the IKEA website?"

"...that totally coincidentally happens to pay affiliate marketing commissions."

"Maybe we should be generous and ignore all the errors and misstatements above."

"...then congratulations—you understand air filters better than the Wirecutter."

Not to me, no. Snarky, yes; aggressive and vitriolic, no.

This is extremely aggressive. I thought the author might jump out from my monitor and attack me after I read such statements.

Not at all. I just see some mild sarcasm.

This is not aggressive or vitriolic, lol -- this is just a writer with a point of view and a voice.

is it polite? no.

is it not accurate? also no.

is it vulgar or offensive? no. unless you get easily offended, in which case you probably shouldn't spend too much time on the internet?
