Thank you for speaking your mind and finally having the guts to compare inexperienced volunteer patch writers to insidious poisoners. These malevolent a-holes gotta be shot in sight, if you ask me.
No, sometimes food doesn't get tested and bad things get in. People get hurt. That's what happens when you don't test anything. Your stupid analogy < my refutation.
I'm done. And your sarcasm just makes you look like an asshole. If you want to shoot people, I recommend you start with yourself.

ON FREAKING TOPIC:
I think a better patch testing environment needs to be created here. Patch authors should provide clear instructions on what to check to see if their patch works (as well as examples). An index of users on here that operate test servers would be nice as well as it allows patch authors to easily contact them (though the downside: maybe operators don't want spam from patch authors. )
A centralized "patch manager" for downloading/installing patches for mangos would be nice too (though obviously some conflicts can't be resolved automatically.) It would at least make it easier for less experienced users to help. There are tons of posts for "how to install patch" so at least it would make that easier (as well as make tracking what you have installed much, much simpler)
