The angry tone is because he publicly accuses Anakam and his ex-partner of screwing him out of $12.8 million, accusing them of extortion and that he's the victim and needs the internet to help him. Even though, when I look at what he wrote, that doesn't represent the situation accurately at all. I see this as a thinly veiled attempt to get an internet lynch mob started. I think he chose the title of the HN post deliberately to evoke an emotional response, specifically one of outrage. Had he obfuscated his story such that we wouldn't be able to identify the people involved I wouldn't have responded with an angry tone. He could even have kept the inflammatory title. (FYI: I'm not particularly against software patents.)
