This is an important distinction. Randal Schwartz had similar complaints and at some point years ago even added a disclaimer to his posts.

                Attention!

  The following comment is never meant personally.
  You are not your code. I most likely do not even know you
  personally, and don't make presumptions about your
  character or habits based on a single posting.
  I'm only commenting on the ability
  for the code you posted to do its stated task,
  with particular attention being paid to:

    * Security
    * Maintainability
    * Avoiding needless reimplementation
    * Contribution to the community

  If I sound like I'm flaming, please re-read the message
  a few more times until you see that it's about the code
  and the Perl community, and not about you personally.
  That is all. Thank you.
