If we look at your statement, was there anything constructive?
> Um it's shouldn't really be down when you show it to people
If you say yes, then you are implying that the OP is stupid and didn't realize his website should be up when sharing it.
If you say no, then why did you say it?
A neutral statement devoid of feelings would be, "It looks like your site got the hug of death"
A kinder way to phrase it would be "Congrats on the launch! Looks like it wasn't able to handle the HN hug."
But you phrased it in a negative way, and that IS rude.
>Thank you.
You are welcome.
