No, but it drains one's vitality, probably in an escalating feedback loop. If you think you're reading it around here, you've got to remember that what people type probably doesn't reflect well who they really are. I'm sure lots of corrupted communication occurs. (If you try to be very careful not to sound smug, it can sound saccharine.) In any event, if they are smug, they're not happy, and it's too bad.
