Who said it was trash? I said there are no new ideas, and it’s not ready for other people to use. Why would you conflate that with “trash”? That’s a perfectly normal, honest assessment.

I think you guys are expecting a 15 year old to be treated like a 5 year old. 15 is old enough to make real contributions to open source. Aaron Swartz is the obvious example, but lots of other young people make big contributions. It’s honest to say “good for you and keep working but this isn’t ready for the front page of Hacker News and if you think it is you will hold yourself back.”

You were over the line when you called them a sociopath, and I should've called you on it but didn't, but now you are way, way over the line.

To quote you, in what world is this an appropriate comment?

If you weren't hypercritical, why do you think everyone is reacting as if you were? Either you communicated poorly and came off way differently than your intended, or you aren't being honest with yourself about what you said and what it meant.
