You're allowed to be a jerk, but when doing so you shouldn't be surprised if people call you a jerk (or use a nicer phrase like "this kind of pull request is hurtful and unwarranted").

Constructive criticism is good, but the linked PR is not that. It's akin to a content-less drive-by HN comment like "you suck". You're free to post it (until you get banned), but it's not adding anything and you should expect downvotes.

I agree with you and I'm not saying "delete your fucking project" is constructive criticism.

But, if an internet stranger says "delete your fucking project" and you take that personally there's no one to blame for your suffering than yourself.

Also, _Marak_'s paternalistic comment would make sense with a group of 10 year olds, but we are all adults here.

If you don't want to be treated like a 10 year old then don't act like one.

I'm sorry, could you explain what part of what I said was infantile?
