On a whim? The contest went around for a while. Just because you don't go 
around in the forums it doesn't mean there isn't any traffic going on.

To each his own. I'm a beginner programmer at best, and I would certainly 
*not* use this tone to comment on someone's code.  You don't really want a 
"Said the novice to the master of the art." type discussion, to paraphrase 
R.E. Howard. Likewise, this "sarcasm" is just hurtful and to be pretty much 
honest, worthless. 

What did it add to the discussion? None. Zero. It only stirred up stop energy 
(in fact I wonder what the original poster would think, after seeing all this 
ruckus).

These "certain circles" are simply part of the same community you're in. 
Secondly, "farce" is purely your opinion, therefore don't be surprised if you 
get negative reactions.
If you want to at least get taken seriously in this discussion, which is 
*nothing* about code and just pretty much subjective opinion, you need to be a 
little less abrasive (and this is a severe understatement).

Personally I don't really care, I handled reviews that were much worse than 
yours. But I care about the effect of such a tone on non-coding contributors 
(yes, they are part of the structure and help to keep things up, in case you 
haven't noticed in the past 5 or 6 years). If you want to scare people off, go 
ahead! I'm sure you'll get thanked for it </sarcasm>.

Not that I'm bothering writing more to this, to be honest history has shown in 
the past that discussing with you is an utter waste of time.
