I wasn't the one complaining, was I?

OK, *now* you're patronizing me ("displaying or indicative of an 
offensively condescending manner"), even if you weren't before.

If I see suspect designs, I say so.  If you don't want advice, don't ask 
for help.

And "smelly" means "suspect", not "wrong" -- at least that's the sense 
in which I use it.  If I believed it were absolutely wrong, I would have 
said so.
