You need to grow a thicker skin. By your reasoning, any substantial
patch or code review is a personal attack; that is not an attitude that
is conducive to evolving good code.


I would have to agree.  If you don't want people looking at your code and
trying to help out or suggesting changes, then don't release your code :-)
If someone suggests something and you don't agree, perhaps discussing it with
them is better than taking it as an insult.  Obviously each party feels that
his way is best, but that doesn't mean that there is no room to compromise.
In the end, you can always "agree to disagree."
