This should encourage you to do so, not dissuade you.
People shouldn't be cruel because you've written crap code, we *all* have!
Nobody made an instant transition to good coding practices without making
mistakes,
slow programmes and finding nothing scales.

You should welcome the chance for your code to be criticized.
When all is done and dusted, you would end up with code which is cleaner 
(therefore more maintainable), faster, and scalable.
If the price for that is some embarrassment at making mistakes, pay it and
pay it gladly.

I don't think people are reacting to your posts because you're of your
ignorance.
We're all ignorant about something.
The reaction is probably because they feel insulted that it appeared as if
you don't take 
the chance to correct that when offered advice, and preferred to defend your
choices, etc.

Well, that and maybe posting a graphic novel nobody wanted to read about
your sexual escapades 
shortly after complaining that younglings might be reading and therefore
profanity should be filtered.
