I already flamed that patch at least once before. People didn't react. 

What do I have to do to make people listen? I'm sorry, but I'm not going 
to send you flowers with a card saying "Hope you do better next time!".

I realize that the flowers might be friendlier, but I have absolutely no 
incentive to be friendly to just bad code. I have even _less_ incentive 
when my first "that sucks" is apparently totally ignored. So now I spelled 
it out why it sucks, but I sure as hell didn't have any reason to be 
polite about it.
