Interesting. I've seen quite a few people launch their stuff on HN and invariably they knew how to take the feedback they got and use it constructively, you are doing an absolutely terrible job of it, that is why I added the 'at your peril' there.

If you are still of the opinion that you are doing this the right way I suggest you talk it over with some other founders of YC funded companies and see how they react.

If they all give you the green then you'll know you have nothing to fear from the impression you are making here.

And yes, I do take it serious, maybe you should too.
