You used a tropey put-down. You couldn't even find an original way to dunk on the project. I have a lot of empathy to allocate this scenario, but it's unclear why any of it should go to you.
I don't mean to keep a flagged, unproductive subthread going, but since you're listening to me: stop writing that way on HN. Stop dunking on people's open source projects. Be careful with how you write criticism. The preceding commenter was absolutely right to call out the snark in that comment. If you don't call that stuff out, it spreads like kudzu, and pretty soon we're all just writing Youtube comments. They did you a favor, and you should thank them for it.

You're the one dunking here.
If I had chosen more direct words, and written my criticism with less emotion, then you clearly wouldn't have any issue with it.
My comment has 81 points at the time of writing this one. Clearly the majority opinion here is that the substance of it was worthwhile.
God forbid humans express emotion on the internet. You are welcome to criticize my expression. To simply filter it out as bad internet speak is, at the very least, a bad strategy.
