To be rude, it would have to be directed at the person.  I was pointing out a
failed process and a failed result in the most direct manner possible.  If the
person can't distinguish themselves from their results, that's an issue for
them, not me.  And if you're contributing as a committer to a large project,
you'd better have proper processes, *and* an ability to take heat for failure
to comply.  I'm not willing to be responsible for *your* feelings.  I will
promise to not attack you personally, but I *am* going to do what it takes for
the shared result to be effective.
