Well, I barely knew Caddy (had to google it again), but after reading the "Ugly" section I am sure I will not become a caddy user anytime soon. I mean we all know how brutal (emotionally) online communities can be and I respect anybody who stands against it. Nevertheless, I do not think that 'Entitlement' and 'Emotional Manipulation' are the real problems here, because those are just honest expressions of what other people think. Those comments are some kind of feedback which the maintainer can accept or ignore. On the other hand, there are a lot of dicussions where we have personal assaults, like 'the maintainer is a prick' or 'what a dumb move'. Those are totally unacceptable and the people discussion should show what they think about such comments. And in the end, HN has a very heterogenous group of commenters, but Paul Graham gave us a guide on how to write good comments: http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html
