Claiming that them saying it is them thinking they are being witty is disputing the validity of their complaint.

  For example: I could constantly remark on the current bad weather using an unfunny joke. Somebody could complain about my terrible sense of humour without implying it was actually lovely outside.

    You're still claiming that people are saying it just to be witty/funny. They aren't. It is a legitimate concern that people should be informed of, if they aren't aware.

      > You're still claiming that people are saying it just to be witty/funny. You see that word "just" in there? That's the bit I disagree with. It is possible to both agree with someone and dislike how they express themselves.

        Hacker News is not a person, and you will only drive yourself insane if you treat a conversation with a collective like it is a person.
