Aaaw, look at all the little neghead grinches come to hate on someone being kind. So all the people who want to pretend that anonymous strangers saying mean words is meaningless (so they can have cover to do that and unwarrantedly take out their own frustrations on others), also want to pretend that saying kinds words to others is meaningless. Checks out.

To the wonderful author of this amazing creation:
No need to apologize. It's not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong. They had a negative reaction to you doing something positive or neutral, that was not targeting them. Their feelings, their reaction, are not your responsibility. Those things have nothing to do with you at all, and are all about them. It's not something for you to be sorry for, because it's not something you did. But I get if you've got your own emotion about seeing them react like this.
I've been there. Many times. Sharing work and feeling vulnerable and reading people's meanness. One thing I noticed about HN is it is sort of random how this happens. Some time, you share something, and whether it's great or not, people are super positive. Then another time, something is shared, and again, whether it's great or not, people are negative. It's a bit like the tides. Some sort of natural cycle. Which makes sense, I guess...these people's reactions are nothing to do with you...they're just seeking an outlet for some inner mess. It doesn't feel great to see my work as part of their negative experience, so I get it if you're also experiencing that. Just wanna say thanks for this, there are also very good people here, but more important than here, is you, and I hope you keep creating wonderful stuff like this! :)
