Man I know how this feels. The very first piece of code I ever open-sourced (5 years ago) was put on a "Wall of Shame". Turned out though that the person doing this had never even looked at my code, they were just a petty, jealous person who saw something with a title that irked them. I don't claim to have great code, but I am happy to still be putting lots of open-source code out there, and I'm happy I didn't let that first asshole discourage me. Fortunately, the rest of the community saw that this guy was an asshole, and the "wall of shame" was quickly brought down, but it'd be really nice if we didn't let such petty assholes make it into a position where they can ridicule people in such a public and far-reaching way in the first place.
