The point is that they shouldn't have had to ask you to do that because their profiles shouldn't have been there in the first place. You didn't have their permission to do that, and yet you did it anyway. How can you actually be surprised at the outrage when you are fully aware that you essentially forced everyone into that position without their consent?
You keep asking people what you did wrong, but you have refused time and again to even begin to attempt to consider why creating profiles for everyone without their permission is wrong.
HN doesn't care about virality and something being "cool" the way you think they do, especially when all you're doing is copying what a famous CEO did nearly two decades ago, the very CEO that most of HN extremely dislikes now - and you wonder why you're getting the third degree?
Step off the internet for a bit and think about the feedback you're getting. Stop insisting you're awesome and that the project was cool and that we're all wrong, and consider what you're hearing. Your ego is tremendously over-inflated.

If I had been the other half of that conversation and that had been your response to me, right now you would be in the ER recovering from a life-threatening beating.
