They said they set appropriate expectations, and I’m supposed to be polite and assume positive intent of other comments per HN guidelines.
I believe my comments make it clear where I stand on support of regulation to prohibit this activity.

GP was correct—that means you've gotta read every message in case it's one of the "ASAP" ones. That's just exactly what the post under discussion explicitly stated. No adversarial reading required.
Assuming positive intent, in this case, would be to assume that they've at least made it clear what counts as "ASAP" so workers don't have to guess, after checking the message. If not, it's even worse.
