I suppose you know this, but green means the account is new (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html). Angry people sometimes create new accounts to vent. That's not a good use of HN, but let's not respond as if there's something wrong with new users coming to the community. We don't want this place to become insular and brackish. New users are the community's freshwater!
