Critical review is only insulting if the submitter has an ego problem.

Some of us WELCOME critical review of our software.  If what you meant
instead is "don't insult the software developer by nit-picking her/his
work." then you may be onto something.  But a REASONABLE individual
should welcome CONSTRUCTIVE comments.  Not everyone is the perfect
programmer.
