I think the popularity of my post suggests it better represents the general sentiment of people who viewed the page than not, but I do accept the tone reflects my negative feelings towards the perceived credentialsim:substance ratio more than it does an impartial review of the content. Genuinely, feel free to remove the entirely of my thread if you think it is unproductive, I'm unable to edit it.
People upvote highly emotive stuff all the time even if it's at odds with HN's guidelines so whatever it suggests, it doesn't suggest the place on HN where people showcase their work is also the place for harangues. People like harangues! It's just not the subforum for them.
