Sorry, my comprehension of English is not sufficient for this.
What do you mean here?

I for my side am very happy that Andras takes care about the code quality. And 
I am always grateful if others do this for me with my code, because I get an 
opportunity to learn and it prevents me from having my name associated to bad 
code. 
But of course getting criticized hurts my ego and can create unpleasant 
feelings. But IMHO this is the price for improving myself.

I think we need to uphold a certain standard of our codebase. This can be done 
by preventing code from coming into the codebase that does not meet our 
criteria. Or we can accept code and when we see the need to talk about it we 
start a discussion. This is what I observed here.
