I refuse to believe that encouraging people to not be assholes to each other, and to not shit on people sharing their stories is "sanitizing".

  So how would have been an acceptable way for the commenter to make his point? Saying they sh*t on the other person is IMHO really dramatic.

    I would start by not using the the Step 1, Step 2 format. To me saying they sh*t on the other person is accurate because to me he is not trying to offer anything constructive. I understand your opinion may differ.

    Is accusing someone of shitting on another person, shitting on that person?

    > So how would have been an acceptable way for the commenter to make his point? If by "acceptable" you mean better for HN, it's not hard to imagine a thoughtful comment about the difference between making money from an app product vs. an app-building shop. Also it would be easy not to belittle the OP's achievement (as "empower others to fail", for example, does).
