What you don't seem to get is that when you come up with bald statements
like "this is poor design", other people find _your_ comments dismissive
and offensive. The people you are addressing are not machines - they have
sensitivities (whether you like it or not), and in your communication you
should bear that in mind. You may find it acceptable to write comments in
such a tone; many other people do not.
