Looking at the example given, I agree. Why be “nice” about it. Blunt saves time and effort.

I HATE people that write that kind of garbage to make themselves look smart and also to make themselves the only ones that can maintain the code.

Ditto. Every line should be written with the intention of handing it off to a less skilled underling ... because some day that is exactly what is going to happen. We all started on the bottom rung at some point in our skills building.

I agree that the code in question was not that good, and that blunt criticism of it is OK, but he went off the rails with his rant and he certainly did not save time or effort making it. It was a vulgar, juvenile, and unnecessary personal attack.
