I don't like the statement that "Hacker News ruined my morning." That seems like you're either creating a link-bait headline trying to appeal to the emotions of HNers or you're trying to shift responsibility from yourself to another entity. I really don't think that you're trying to do either; it seems to me you just wanted to vent and share your thoughts.

I wish you the best of success.
