Oh well, if you already feel offended by this phrasing, I guess you should get 
a thicker skin ... we've people from very different cultures and with varying 
English language skills in the community, so you should just take things with a 
pinch of salt in general.

Anyway, the sentence is from the upstream gerrit project, and it actually 
describes pretty good what it means, technically:

"you shouldn't submit this" - I don't think this is ready to go in as it is.
"I would prefer" -  ..but at the same time this isn't a veto, so if another 
approver thinks differently (with reasons), please go ahead.

If anyone things there are better ways to formulate exactly this, I suggest 
bringing it up in the gerrit forums.

There's a point though that a lot of people (including me) are using -1 for 
'this requires more work', and -2 for 'the patch, or target branch is just 
wrong, please abandon'. So if the intention of the patch is fine in general, 
but contains some errors, I myself tend to give -1, though it should maybe be a 
-2. Anyway, I think everyone giving a -1 or -2 should put an explanation in the 
comments which explains things, so I haven't yet perceived this as a real issue.

Regards

Kai
