That's kind of what I thought as well, hence why I went up the next day to finish the ride off, I didn't wanna embark myself in a quest potentially harmful for my career, and as you morley846 said, it's not worth the hassle.
I kind of care for other people too (I'm a nice guy) and my complain was more like so future applicants wouldn't have to go trough what I've been.
The way I see it is that a check ride is not only a very experienced pilot putting under test a novice pilot, it's also a customer paying top dollar for a service, in my opinion that service has to meet certain standard, and the FAA should control that more closely.
What I can do for now is avoid recommending that DPE to other pilots..
