Hey Tim, and anyone else reading this. I don't mean to criticize, and I have spoken with you before and I know you guys are working hard. I just wanted to give others perspective on my experience. I hope you guys keep up the good work.

I don't mean to criticize

Bullshit. More like: Oh shit, I didn't realize you were not only here but classy enough to respond in a professional and friendly manner to my calling your startup "garbage".

Comments like this one criticize those who are big enough to realize their tone mistake, and reshape their next response. There may be a better way to handle it then saying "bullshit" as that will inevitably draw a line in the sand.

If he had apologized, that would be one thing, but he immediately followed with "I don't mean to criticize", which is demonstrably false.
