You aren't expected to. You're expected to show respect for the medium with which you are expressing those thoughts (HN), and the other people you are communicating with on that medium, by keeping the discussion civil and doing your part to keep it from devolving I to a flame-fest.
Almost nobody cares that you have and express dislike for this software. They care that you're doing it in a way which encourages additional discourse which isn't useful and wastes everyone's time.
At extremes it's the difference between staying you think a person is immoral or untruthful with reasons and calling someone an asshole. One of those is easier to have an actual discussion over than the other.
