Not meaning to single you out Robert, but typically folk are honest with their impression of the code without worrying about feather ruffling too much e.g: searching for "brain dead" in the pg-hackers archives returns a sizeable collection of reading material.
Personally I think it is good to be blunt about code we consider not well thought out or well behaved. Obviously in some cases such comments may turn out to be incorrect or misleading (e.g user error or not reading the docs), but I don't think we should try (too hard anyway) to smother any strong criticism.
