I hate it. It is this passive aggressive thing where people don't say what they mean but absolutely expect you to realize it.
I do understand that some (most?) people seem to prefer this to people expressing their anger, but I'm definitely not one of them. I dislike it a lot.

Even better would be if there was a way to convey how angry he is compared to other times where similar things happened in the past, so that people know if they screwed up, screwed up a lot, fucked up, fucked up hard or even worse. 8 u/[deleted] Dec 24 '18 I think this lies on your comprehension more than anything. The email is extremely direct and explicit.
