I've heard this complaint before, and I kind of understand where it comes from, but removing politeness isn't the same as rudeness. I'm not replacing "thanks"

I've heard this complaint before, and I kind of understand where it comes from, but removing politeness isn't the same as rudeness. I'm not replacing "thanks" with "suck it." I'm just removing "thanks." It really doesn't belong where most people put it (as part of a question or posted separately as an answer).
