Hello Jori,

When in front of a patch I do not agree with, the least harmful thing I can
do to the author's work is to not review it. Especially when I consider
that it is only a matter of taste, and thus do not oppose any positive
review given by somebody else to the very same patch.

Especially when I still read the code and try to find improvements, while
knowing that I will not review it in the end.

The incitation, however, looks healthy: when your code is being reviewed,
your code will pass faster if you can reach an agreement with the
reviewer...

I don't see how we could be led to have a unified view on things, however.
This software is the common work of people who care enough about it to
disagree on very minor details :-)
