You should expect abuse, but I think the OP is taking issue with the fact that HNers are the ones who are being abusive.

To those who would be abusive, all I have to say is to remember that everyone begins somewhere. There was a time when you yourself was very mediocre at coding. And if your work had been completely trashed, how likely would you have been to pursue a career in programming?

You don't need to be a HN'er to follow a link from HN to somewhere and start making a jerk of yourself. I don't see any proof that these people are 'HN'ers' other than that they are able to follow a link. They're just jerks, the kind that infest each and every place on the web where more than 10 people gather in order to spoil the mood.
