Eh, I think the main point here is that the advice that JimB offered
was actually constructive criticism, even if it wasn't about the circuit itself. It was just a suggestion to take a little more time before showing off the things you're proud of, so that they can be more impressive and so you can feel a bit prouder still to have people see them. Or such. I don't really see it being anything to get too offended about.
Maybe you ought to give people the benefit of the doubt more often about what they're saying to you. That's constructive criticism too BTW
BTW why have I just downloaded a ginormous photo of what looks like a plate of egg and toast?!
Anyway, congrats on the clock circuit, it looks cool!
