Harass?  You mean as in "disturb, bother, pester, attack, persecute, 
or torment"?  Come on!  I just pointed out a coding inconsistency, 
and provided a patch to handle identical situations in an identical 
way.  Isn't that allowed any more?  Sure, it's pedantic.  But 
harassment?  Hrrm!

Okay, that seems doable, even without writing messages in a special 
way.
