"Equal opportunity jerk" seems alright at first thought, but when you consider that people of different races/genders have different social standing, it's clear that some people will be disproportionately affected by others being "equal opportunity jerks".
Plus, being an "equal opportunity jerk" is not a good policy at all — it's downright abusive. No one should be verbally berated in public for writing code that's not up to the maintainer's snuff.
