If I'm criticizing the linked post, then I'm also criticizing myself, because I could easily imagine having written it.

I think some might get the impression that you're complaining about Hickey's tone. Perhaps your emotional terms "frustration," "defensive," and "exasperated" may be the reason.

  • I don't see anything wrong with the way he expressed himself, and I think his point is totally legitimate. I mostly just felt bad that he experienced so much grief about it, on account of a gift he was offering to the world.

    • "So much grief." It sounds like you're trying to interpret Hickey's emotions. How would you check whether your interpretation is accurate?
