You don't really get to decide whether someone's entirely in-passing mention of an emotional response to developments in something they worked on is 'reasonable' or not, and more importantly, it's not at all a topic of interesting conversation, just pedantic nitpicking.

Project participants showing up to HN to discuss their work is one of the more interesting and valuable things we have here and a 'community norm' in which they start getting hectored over tiny details or pet issues unrelated to the work would not be a good one - it just drives people away.
Fully agreed! Thanks for providing your own perspective.
