Considering that "sergeant-at-arms appointed by the Chair" [rfc3005] and "Complaints regarding their decisions should be referred to the IAB" [rfc3005], which means SAAs are loyal to I*, its practically impossible, which is why SAAs power must be strictly limited as is described by rfc3005. As such, I was surprised to have received a mail recently from an SAA saying: We understand that this style of communication was accepted (if not encouraged) in the past, but it is no longer the expectation now.
I have not read the specific exchange of messages, so am not commenting on it. But if the SAA is engaging in tone policing, rather than to deter abuse, I find this completely inappropriate.
