Aside from pretending you're speaking on behalf of multiple people, you're post is quite ok. However, the case you argue for is not.
Your post is totally fine. I think you're wrong, but I see nothing wrong in your post. It expresses how you feel things are going.
However, you're arguing that snarky comments are ok. That entirely unreasonable stance to take. Such comments provides no value at all, result in emotional responses and the value for this site is 0. The original poster expresses his/hers emotions and likely feels a bit better, but that is IMO done at the expense of everyone reading this site. It's just not within reason to tolerate such behaviour.

This one brought us to this post from bersl2, which helped me, at least.

Seconded. And Olav: you should know that.
Whenever I see something like this, I think "oh, noes! another Lennart Poettering thread" and turn away in disgust. That's most probably why those "multiple people" are overheard.

No, it did not. There's a warning by the someone from LWN that such comments are not useful. A hit and run comment is terrible. That maybe perhaps there can be value out of such comment: yeah whatever. Let's get concrete, that comment is utterly useless, negative and leads nowhere.
You value the post from bersl2, that is what should be on LWN. Not the initial comments because maybe after a totally crappy comment followed by a warning by LWN site owner you finally get to a better comment.
You're advocating terrible commenting. Start your own site.
