Interesting. However, my most insulting comment doesn't appear to be that insulting: (it's not like I've been very active on HN) "Either your CPU is too fast or too slow. I can't really fix anything since I don't have a Mac to test with. It works fine on Windows."

Seems as though it's a recursive troll attempt.

Me on Reddit: "The first step is to stop hating yourself, you are your foundation for your own success..."

Clear troll comment. I've said much, much, worse on Reddit.

My worst phrase

"This looks nice... Are you open to H1B or remote?"

Only Twitter worked for me, but it was kind of cool to read some long forgotten tweets.

I don't really understand the periodic table concept. My first thought was that it grouped your insults into types, like logical fallacies versus outright insults. I feel like that would be more useful for introspection.

Interesting. My Mr. Rogers result is reassuring I suppose. I like my most insulting comment: "Very useful. Can you add links to amazon/hulu/torrents?" Sounds like someone tried to build a sarcasm detector.* *Will this be my new most insulting comment?

Yes, my worst comment surprised me:

"That sounds like a good approach; reimplementing an existing API like EC2 or DO makes it easier to integrate your software with tools like Vagrant and Terraform."

Maybe the words "reimplementing" or "existing" triggered it? For you, maybe it was "torrents"?

My worst comment: "Yep, working less than 30 hrs really gives you a chance to live life. I take less pay and only have to work a half week."

Pretty much all of my "hater" comments were like this. Many were helpful answers to problem.

Apparently, this is a negative comment: "What do you with a bunch of books and an empty pod? A racing track of course! http://bit.ly/1wThvTK " -pmelendezu "

From other comments it looks like terse sentences, intensifiers and popular brand names are factors, which would explain that comment.
