A comment on Mr. Rodgers's Neighborhood (2011). Parent comment

I've never heard the elitist basis of the HN title policy expressed so plainly. So it's not to preserve the sanity of neurodivergent readers, or stop them from getting annoyed with tricksy titles that have to be decoded, or to maintain a serious tone, but actually (and merely) to establish HN as somehow above the throng.

Elitism. Snobbery. Ugh.

Not sure how you got from what I wrote to any of that!

Nothing bugged me about dang's comment. His choice of words is more formal than the average web comment, so maybe that rubs some people the wrong way?

What specifically could HN do differently to be less snobby?
