Consider two scenarios:

Person X posts untested code and asks for help with it.  

Person Y posts untested code in response to a question or request for
help.

Can you really not perceive a difference between these two situations,
one that doesn't involve "in" and "out" groups?

Aside, not just to you:  I'm always amused by claims that code "works
perfectly".  "Works for all the tests I tried", okay, but -- oh well,
I suppose I'm just a pessimist?  It does seem like only relatively
inexperienced programmers make such claims.
