There is nothing in the situation you describe that requires that
level of useless vitriol. Rewrite the same advice in a helpful and
friendly way, and it achieves the same effect without lowering the
tone of the discussion.
And just to clear something up.
I answer the same question over and over again, often.
I do not think a moderator will be alarmed if, in response to the same
question over and over, a form-response is pasted in and/or a single link
is left as an answer to the question.
It's a far cry from being rude and abusive to someone to simply answering
the question quickly and dispassionately.
There are times when someone misinterprets efficiency/expediency as
rudeness but I don't think that's what we're talking about for moderation
at all.
