Amazing how something so simple could result in such polarizing responses here in the comments!
The site has the apparent function of a sort of Rorschach test for individuals. Do you feel upset and bothered when asked gently to describe your emotions in an in-depth manner? Did you spend 7 minutes reflecting on your emotion and then feel like it was a waste of time? Or did the process reveal something positive about yourself you didn't realize?
At all times, HN comments serve as a mirror reflecting individuals views on a topic; but when the topic is your own emotional self the result is quite stunning.
