The objective of the comments should be to ensure that the user becomes aware of what they have done wrong and ensures it does not happen in the future, really.
I don't mind big files usually. It's a genuine enough mistake due to not knowing anything about file data size and a quiet word can fix it for next time.
It's rarely done on purpose to annoy, apart from a few usual subjects.
