Yeah i didn't expect a Flame War on HN. I have seen angry mobs (JustFab incident) and very whole hearted debates but they usually have some really nice points on both sides. This incident... well it was wrong. BUT that does not in any way mean that HN is wrong as a community to criticize products etc. That's called "peer review". And it's usually very productive on HN because the people here are really good at distilling through you pitches and analyzing what's good and what's bad about a product.
