It is distributing to find somewhere you thought of as a "safe place" seems like such an upsetting place to others. I'm not sure what HN should do about this, but it is a very disturbing turn of events. Perhaps it is time to pack up and leave?

Someone finds HN to be upsetting, this is such a shock, it's time to pack up and leave...

Can't say I'm following your line of thought. What, people should stop visiting and/or revamp communities that someone else doesn't like?

If someone doesn't like a community, I certainly think it is worth finding out why, and if their opinions have merit.

Particularly when in this case (front-end developer, reading the title of Anna's blog), you would hope these would be exactly the kind of people HN would want to attract, both as articles to link to, and people to come and comment.

It's kind of futile to expect to reach some equilibrium where all people who have title X are attracted to HN's community.
