>It saves time when you don't have to carefully structure each criticism in a compliment sandwich and so forth. I can only imagine only the most socially incompetent people would actually find it a major time-sink to say things civilly. You don't have to make a compliment sandwich, saying "Your kernel patch throws a bunch of warnings, what the fuck is this?" is hell of a lot better than "which one of you retards can't read the guidelines?" The basis of civility is to avoid personal attacks when it's not about the person. This isn't about the person. You can be civil and still be pissed off.
