Wait, you believe bitcoin is declining in popularity because... "meanies"?

  Toxic work environments scare away smart people. Cynicism trumps innovation. Noise obscures signal. So, yes, meanies have a measurable impact on the health of a community. If every post on HN was toxic vitriol, would you be here? This isn't a thesis. I'm not suggesting this is Bitcoins only problem but that it's a very serious problem hackers tend to overlook.
