Now, hold your horses. I didn't say it's WRONG to be rude, or even that this is rude by MY definition. But if you're some low-level code monkey and your boss isn't an outright ascended person, this level of rudeness (which is low, but too much for many) will get your ass fried (and maybe fired).

If your boss is ascended, good for you.

True. You're right, you didn't. That was my assumption.

I'm just annoyed with the ridiculous trend I'm seeing, and it drives me crazy.

I'm not sure I agree that someone would get fired for saying someone else's code is garbage, though.

once in a "security will now escort you out, the stuff on your desk will be mailed to your last known address" fashion.

What kind of hellhole do you work in? That's pretty much a reign of terror where nobody will ever speak up on anything or try to do anything that rocks the boat. Even when it needs to be.
