No, that's not the insulting part.
The insulting part is seeing (and posting as part of the patch) the "Do
not remove", not asking him or even letting him know, and putting the
change in despite the "Do not remove" objection, as if it wasn't even
there. Not as if his opinion was like anyone else's, but as if it
didn't even count.

"He didn't win" would be almost funny, if this were a game. Not just
because the debate is still underway, but mainly because he wasn't even
invited to the game before it was first misregarded as over. It's so
stacked that it almost underflows. (see?, I made another joke. not a
good one either :-)
