&gt; <i>You don&#x27;t understand what you are talking about.</i><p>Please don&#x27;t address a fellow user this way.<p>&gt; <i>Basically, the rule is that the title on HN should be exactly the same as the title of the blog post.</i><p>That&#x27;s mistaken. The actual rule is to use the original title <i>unless it is misleading or linkbait</i>: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;newsguidelines.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;newsguidelines.html</a>. Had you known that, you&#x27;d have known that we were upholding the rule, not breaking it. It&#x27;s standard practice, when a title breaks the HN guidelines, to replace it with neutral, representative language from the article.<p>Does that mean we get every edit right? Of course not, but if you&#x27;re going to object, please do so on the basis of what the guidelines actually say.
