I send screenshots all the time, though. I feel like it's helpful. But I agree else-thread [1] that "word padding" helps soften what the other may (depending on mood, time of day, kids yelling, and Oh God I am this close to sending up this PR if I can just have time to think) misinterpret and become agitated by.

I think you're fortunate to have someone be able to tell you stuff like that without it offending you [2]. Maybe she needed to vent a little. It's nice to have someone to vent to (within limits).

In a week or so she might come around and agree, yeah we shouldn't break the build--but at the time it was annoying to be told that (due to tone or whatever reason).
