You really don't understand, do you? It's the attitude that every little 
violation needs pointing out, even if it is unimportant by reasonable 
definition. I explained at length why I think there are unimportant and 
more important issues to point out. These being pointed out can and does 
cause frustration. If you can't see why, I don't know how to help you.

He did not point out a coding style issue, he more or less asked if it was 
one, which then lead to a discussion, which then caused the frustration I 
have obviously built up to spill. It's not Jérôme's fault, like I said he 
didn't even exactly point out a style violation, it's only when you showed 
your refusal to acknowledge the room for interpretation when I got all 
frustrated.

If you can't understand why I and apparently others feel the way we do, I 
don't really know what I can tell you. I've already tried to explain in it 
detail.

Best regards,
-Stephan
