Sure. But that's a false dichotomy: an excruciatingly polite and carefully worded post which explains its reasoning succinctly and logically is also possible and would be even better.
I think my following sentence handled that nicely; etiquette is a concern, but a secondary one.
If your goal is good epistemology, avoiding offense should always lose to making accurate statements when the two conflict. That is almost tautologically true, yet still useful to keep in mind since the two often are at odds with one another.
Agreed, though I would also endorse establishing a culture where a post that explains its reasoning succinctly and logically without devoting additional care to being excruciatingly polite would be considered better than all of the above.
