"When I use Reply All

    ...

    When urgency is needed to a critical item that requires escalation in good faith."
This is passive-aggressive behaviour, and I call it out as such.

It is up to the current owner of the urgent critical item to escalate it. A one-to-one visit or phone call to that person is appropriate. Email is not appropriate for urgent matters. Multiple-addressee email, even less so.
