The point of the post by my fellow HN person was to give you feedback on your communication style.
You obviously have interesting things to say and opinion to share with a fair amount of passion, but the tone detracts from the message, which I find a pity.

- usefulcat 4y agoIt’s not about people being delicate, its about what you value more: saying whatever you feel like saying, or actually getting your point across. The more inflammatory your tone, the less likely it is that you’ll change anyone’s mind, because they’ll be more likely to dismiss outright whatever you’re saying.
