First: please don't abandon sharing your code on GitHub because of this issue. Other people may find your code useful; some may raise issues that help you further develop the code.
Second: my approach to receiving bad feedback - and, as a poet, I have wide experience of this[1] - is to thank the person for their time, and then move on. For example: "Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to poem X. Best wishes, Rik". Never, ever, argue with the critics! In this case, assume the person raising the issue was having a bad day (which is a better assumption than deciding they're just a jerk/troll/nasty person) - thank them for taking the time to look at your concept and then close the issue as "won't fix".
Hope this helps.
[1] My favourite 'review' of one of my (love) poetry chapbooks was: "Don't buy this book. My friend bought this book and now she's broken up with her boyfriend" ... if only my words had such power!
