No, do get upset. You have contributed to the centralization and increasing dependence on a single entity, while piggybacking of the advances that distributed version control have brought about. You have blurred the difference between Git and your service, to the point that people don't know about the former, and routinely abuse it. You have normalized the fundamentally inconvenient "pull request" workflow as the default for a lot of software development (introducing the artificial steps of "forking" and proposing a "pull request"), to such a degree that people now complain when they are confronted with anything else. This is not a one-off issue, and isn't fixed when the site is operational again. You deserve all the criticism, and no not coffee chocolate.
