How far have you ever taken a dispute over code?

Fighting? Yelling?

Maybe I live in a very silent little town, but I have never done anything like this. If I do not like the code the co-workers write, I simply quit the project or the company. Why should the police be involved in all this? :-)

I lost my social group.

At my old job we had a "peer review" step before a code change could be submitted to the main branch. A co-worker/friend of mine wanted me to inspect his code. I did, but saw something that wasn't going to work long term. I told him that it really needed to change. When he said "No" I said , "OK, find someone else to inspect it". He did, I asked our boss what I should do when someone goes around me. I was on the architecture team. My boss said "tell me". I said " No, thats not going to make things better." He said "No, we are all grownups here, I need you to tell me. " So I told my boss and I was quickly thrown out of my social group. I ended up fixing the code myself later. I found another social group and eventually left that job. I really didn't think he was going to take it that personally. I had asked lots of other people to make changes to code before putting my seal of approval on it. No one had ever given me a problem before, or since.

It would probably be funny to hear the stories about the "Fighting" instances.

Anyone who's not had heated discussions over things like brace style isn't a real programmer :)
