The OP plagiarised this site, posted this on Show HN as "I built [this site]", and wrote a blog post about how he "built" it, with no mention of the original which he cut-and-pasted almost verbatim.
It's fair that HN give u/pieterhg the credit that was stolen from him here, at the very least. (I personally would remove this post altogether, given it violates copyright.)
How someone can get up in arms about your extremely minimal request, rather than what the OP did, is ... well, I sometimes don't know how on earth people think the things they do. 'Calling the cops', my God.
