Thanks! So one possible answer is: try to reach the other party directly as soon as possibles (directly so that the discussion is not logged as responses to the code review log), this might help to reach consensus without stepping on anyones toes, so to speak. (and before the other party feels like it wants to escalate the issue) I think it is better to keep the discussions like this off the record, because the other party might not feel confident to formulate his/her position in a formal manner or might feel insecure about having this kind of paper trail .
