I have no dog in this fight, but

  check my karma: it's pretty good. You've just crossed a line.

What does that have to do with anything? You're not wrong that your comment is super obnoxious, so if you're aware of the issue... why not just not?

(I'm sure that the response would be "the invite-only model merits being a jerk in response", but given the topic is community it feels like believing something that self-serving/self-perpetuating of malbehavior ought to be disqualifying.)
