Actually, what you'll get is a response that
1) your subject line is insulting, not constructive
2) the tone of your message is unnecessarily argumentative
3) Martin has proven repeatedly that he knows what he's talking about (I
hope you read his resume before you posted) and in a war of opinions, I'll
take his well-thought-out and politely worded one over anyone else's angry
spouting every single time.

Disagreement is fine; it's how we learn. Rudeness is not fine, it's
counterproductive.
