I don't find the comment derisive, in that it does not express contempt or ridicule. Rather, I find it somewhat patronising--it dismisses Peter's blog post as not specific enough by focusing on the question of content rather than tone. The blog post was an exhortation to open our minds, to be more constructive with our peers and more creative as a community; I found it unfortunate that Patrick seemed to dismiss Peter's input by making that sort of detour in his comment. I probably would have ignored it except that the entire point of the blog post was to try being a bit less rigid with each other. I didn't mean for my comment to become a "scrutinise Patrick" thread--it was just a comment.
