For what it's worth - which is probably not much at all - I don't think negative pays off in the long term. Take it from a lifelong troller, now reformed (mostly).

Some time ago there was some site which became semi-internet-famous for its scathing reviews of startups. I can't even remember its name, which might tell you something. The guy behind it eventually went on to found his own startup, which promptly failed.

Sniping at others is easy and, in the end, pathetic. Real hackers create stuff. Anything else is just .. kinda lame.

So yeah, my advice .. walk away from this childish shit. Do something cool, create something new. And when some loser is taking potshots at it on his lame-ass blog - well who's writing about who?
