Most of us who have quit have not quit due to one incident, but due to a pattern of behavior over months. The incident you are bringing up was just the last straw. And what you are linking to is only what remains of the incident, as posts are often deleted, and disagreeing with moderation goes against VCV's code of conduct. Please do not assume you can read the archives of any incident and see an honest account of the full chronology.
The last time my article showed up on HN, a few people complained that my "product announcement" was too long and confused. Had I known it'd be on HN, I would never have mentioned what I was up to, as I have nothing to sell. I operate in an entirely different way than HN startup culture. These are passion projects done on my own time, and passion is fickle. Writing about my experiences was in part about making my peace with half a year of lost creative drive about music hacking. The audience was meant to be the dozen of fellow third-party developers who were fed up with coping with hostility and impostor syndrome.
