Of course. After all, 'malicious compliance' is a relative term; the alternative is to ignore the request altogether and do nothing at all!

You could just comply with the request in good faith, of course, which you still have yet to come up with any argument against.

I'm feeling a little sensitive right now about your use of "you". It feels very direct, hostile and threatening to me.

I would appreciate it if you could rewrite all your HN posts to exclude the use of "you" and rather use alternate grammatical forms.

It's not a big job really, so you shouldn't have any possible reason not to comply.
