This sounds like "A Bad Idea" to me. What's the real issue? Is it that the original coder refuses any comments, or that the OP is a particularly liberal commenter?

This falls into the same basket as naming conventions, tabs vs spaces, and commit message conventions: You need to figure out something that works for the team.
