Sure, I don't doubt that it's deliberate. It's not the content of the message that I'm criticizing. It's precisely that, at least to me, it's being diminished by some of the silliness in the writing. "Hello thar," "Good Sir," really? That's how we speak?
"The Anonymous bitchslap rings
through your ears like hacktivism movements of the 90s."
All the "good sir", "hello thar", monocle stuff dates back to the SA forums, which is where 4chan originally grew out of amongst other places. It was considered funny by some, but quickly grew out of control as people with no working sense of humour took up meme-repetition as a substitute.
There was a time when you could get your account deleted for saying "good sir" on SA, it was that prevalent and annoying.
A lot of the lulzsec schtick reads like classic SA banter, I wouldn't be surprised if topiary used to post there. It could just be because of the aforementioned SA-->4chan lineage.

This sentence hurts me.
