As Paul said, there could be a number of reasons for a person not using commas. If, for example, it was me you had aimed your "jest" at and I was dyslexic or had any other kind of learning difficulty I would be absolutely mortified. So, yes, it is a low blow and rude since you don't know the circumstances under which the post is being made.

Incidentally, horror4life, I'm not saying for one minute you have a learning difficulty so please don't take offence. I'm simply trying to illustrate why Prince's post was out of line and how it could cause upset.
