Not angry at the HN mob, they provide daily comic relief. They also remind me that some of the opinions I had when I was younger must have sounded just as moronic to the more experienced engineers and business people I worked with. I mean, we are all pretty stupid and impressionable until somewhere around 30 years of age. By that time life has generaly done a pretty good job realigning young idealist thinking and opinions borne out of indoctrination. Life experience is also a huge factor in this. For example opposite poles are found in people who spent twenty years working a government job (can't get fired, insane pension) vs. a bootstrapped entrepreneur (self reliance, responsible for own success and failure, no pension). These people reach 40-something years of age with vastly different views of reality. You come across these and other extremes here on HN. For the record, I have nothing but contempt for people who live a life where they are not responsible and accountable for their actions and future. I think it degrades the human condition. So, no, not angry at HN mobs or any other internet mobs.
