Most won't know it's posted, or won't see until after it no longer matters. "Don't editorialize" is the simplest and surest way to respect the original author.

"Don't editorialize titles unless the original title is very nondescript or clickbait-y" is not a controversial HN policy.

I said I would stop but come on.

They very clearly did considering they changed the article title. At this point you literally are complaining for complaining sake.

This is not a productive use of any of our time.

My apologies. You were already on my blocklist of toxic HN users never worth engaging with, but it seems my extension wasn't side-loaded in Firefox after a reboot so I accidentally saw your replies. Won't happen again.

I guess this is what happens when you have nothing to actually rebut.

Falling back on ad hominems and irrelevant information that, frankly, nobody would ever care to know. Sometimes, you don’t have to say what’s on your mind. I would have hoped the rest of this thread would have shown you that, but clearly that didn’t happen.

Great use of all our time. At least you won’t see this comment to continue your insults of me. Something that, considering you seem to know the guidelines well, is frowned upon here.

Whoa, please don't get personal and please don't perpetuate tit-for-tat spats on HN. I know they can be hard to extricate oneself from, but they're very much against the intended spirit here.
