No, I use it in the, ahem, traditional structure along the lines of "Now what you people fail to understand is that...".

I understand that some people might read it as hostility. That's fine. I usually scatter enough hints in the text for the clueful people to figure out I'm not actually foaming at the mouth, plus I prefer to have a bit of ambiguity mixed in -- it adds flavour :-)

(I am commenting only to remark that it was not I who downvoted you.)

Thanks for the concern :-) though I don't care much about downvotes.
