Ask the owner to be a bit nicer. You can say something like:

> While we all make snide comments about our own code, it really hurts when it comes from somebody else; this is distracting me from the actual suggestions you're giving. Could you try to be nicer with the comments you leave during code review?

This isn't a problem with you.

Thank you - I appreciate the response, I was struggling to come up with what to say, but I think you hit all the points there, especially with the fact that it distracts me from the actual suggestions on the work.
