Sorry you feel bad. That really sucks to get messages like that. Personally, I'd just ignore the noise and focus on the good. Remember, it is far easier to be a keyboard warrior than it is to create something awesome.

People in the service industry see this all the time. A 1 star review on a restaurant really hurts. Everyone should know how much effort it is to run a restaurant and how much can easily go wrong... a bad review is really disheartening.

Thank you. I understand these folks are few amongst many, but boy, when you don't hear from the many, only from the few, it makes you think whether this was a mistake.

Regardless, I've removed all mentions of open source from my product (but kept the license unchanged), just so I won't have to deal with this again.
