Are you sure that comma is unneeded?

> Are you sure that comma is unneeded?

I just asked a British and an American native English speaker in #mageia-doc. They both agreed that in normal speech you don't pause after "please", but when frustrated you can pause, like in:

"I've told you so many times now. Please, tidy your room."

So the comma indicates a feeling of stress or irritation. It seems better to remove it.
