I think you went a little over the top with this message.

If you'd taken a moment to calm down and limited yourself to presenting
an emotion-free complaint, you'd be in a much better position to expect
a positive result.

Yes, DES broke the world build.  Yes, more / better testing on his part
could have avoided the breakage.  Still, it's seldom useful to come on
so strong.

Ciao,
