I think the extra heat you are getting from the others is because you are also a pool owner. It is generally assumed pool owners know the ins and out of how pow and pos all works, etc. If relative newbies are able to get it to work, and a few weren't, then its not the dev who has to shoulder the blame. That is the akin to saying the others who got it to work did so with secret non public software or something to that effect.
They are not trying to point out anything..
What they are doing, is trying to make coding errors done by the dev, that didn't produce the correct amount of coins by staking, appear to be the fault of the end user who should get the promised amount of coins by doing things correctly, and didn't.
The heat that lifeforcepools is taking, is either from people that got lucky and got what they were supposed to, or in error got more than they supposed to, or people that are swinging from the pubic hairs of the dev's.
Personally, I'm in the group that feels shafted, as to say my staking has under performed would be an under statement, somewhere on the scale of 20% of what it was supposed to be. (that's staking properly, not transferring coins within 24 hours of the stake period, etc, etc..) Fortunately, I only mined with 20 mh/s and didn't waste any BTC on this crap..
