Offence

In general, LinkedIn comments are a weird mix of polite theater and stealthy competitiveness.

Because it’s a “professional” space, people usually mask their offensiveness; it’s often couched as “advice.”

There’s also a perceived social penalty for looking too emotional, so people also construct their offensiveness into “constructive feedback” or “disagreement.”

Or more commonly they just say nothing.

People come to LinkedIn for validation, not confrontation.
