I don’t think anyone except Alicorn would be scared by that level of meanness.
Hell, out of all the comments I’ve posted on LW, I can remember exactly two times that I’ve been ‘mean’, and one of those times is in this thread, and was meant semi-humorously.
When I get negative feedback on my communication style, I’m loath to assume that it’s only the speaker who feels that way; of those who perceive a particular problem only a small minority will speak up.
FYI, there are several people who’ve commented here who claim to have trouble posting comments due to anxiety about the sort of feedback they’ll receive.
