I actually have an inner debate with myself about it each time I write it. I know there are people like you (and apparently the article author) that will automatically downvote something because it says not to. But I also know when to disarm someone's reflexive voting and get my voice heard. The vast majority of my comments (even quite a few unfavorable ones) don't get that statement at the beginning. Most of the time, it really is a negative. As with all speech, it's all about knowing when and how to use it. There are very few statements that should -never- be used.
