The first was meant as a compliment. I think you have a great idea and appear to be doing a great job with that idea. I have recommended you to quite a few people as the perfect solution to their problem. I wish you nothing but great success.
The other two were in response to a rant about airline customer service on your corporate blog. I thought this was a bad idea and tried my best to explain why. I think the main reason I responded like that was because I saw a young company I cared about potentially making a mistake and I wanted to point it out.
To be honest, I didn't ever remember the 3 previous comments when I responded to this thread. I would have never put 2 & 2 together if you hadn't pointed it out. Thinking that someone giving you feedback because they "have it in for you" can be a dangerous assumption.
I realize that hn is much bigger than it once was, but it's still a great sandbox to try stuff out and fix problems before the rest of the world finds out. Thus the feedback.
Somehow I doubt your motivation for doing so is a sterling commitment to morality.
Do you respond to others who provide you feedback like this? I sure hope not.
