Ironically, you have essentially structured your comment as a traditional essay:
* First paragraph introduces the topic and states your thesis.
* Second paragraph expands on the thesis.
* Third paragraph makes arguments in support of the thesis.
* Final paragraph summarizes the thesis.
I agree completely that too many people think "writing" means "using fluffy language" but the structure of a persuasive essay is a non-fancy, workaday model that works just fine.
