My job, thank God, is not to please entitled rude people on HN. If you have some problem, you can simply address people individually, without attacking an entire community of many, that share a common interest in a programming language.

Sadly, that's not how community management and representation works, and you should know that. If the people in the V community who post here aren't representative of the V community, then maybe send community members who have better people skills. The people you send are the people who represent all of you. Sorry if you think that's unfair, but that's the reputation you're building. That's not on me, that's on you.

  I think you are delusional. I do not send any people anywhere. All people on HN are individuals, not some kind of a collective Borg.

    Think all you want about me, I'm nobody. But it's clear that the same handful of V community members (including the lead dev) show up every single time V is mentioned. So if you feel their voices don't represent the V community, talk to them instead of telling me to (in so many words) STFU. Cause that aint happening. Because they're all I see of V. Here's an example on how to properly evangelize on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37252231 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37252231 Note they didn't call anyone "salty", "delusional", or accuse them of engaging in a vindictive campaign against them. Take notes. Have a great day.

    @ModernMech, you can just address people here individually, and not refer to them as V developers or V community - that currently is already too broad and paints people that you do not know at all, with the same paint, be it bright or dark. It is the same, as asking you to not talk about all Australians, all Chinese or all Bulgarians, when you mean the actions of specific people/individuals. That is all I am asking for, and I think that is not difficult to understand.
