It's one of the most highly upvoted comments on the page (after another nitpick), and it seems to completely miss the point of the OP. Call me naive, but I was hoping commenters would deliberately try to follow Luke's recommendations.

I reacted emotionally because I'm frustrated by the mental distance between myself and the "people who didn't perceive it that way." I'm doubly frustrated by the mental distance between those people and the rest of the world. The world needs you guys! Don't make it so hard for them to understand what you're trying to say!
