A few snippets from the Show HN guidelines:

> A Show HN needn't be complicated or look slick. HN users are comfortable with work that's at an early stage.

> Be respectful. Anyone sharing work is making a contribution, however modest.

> When something isn't good, you needn't pretend that it is. But don't be gratuitously negative.

I'm not saying it people shouldn't be open to criticism, but I think terms such as downright shameful fall under the category of gratuitously negative.
