You don&#x27;t understand what you are talking about. HN doesn&#x27;t have a rule against blog posts with editorialized titles, instead, HN has a rule saying that the people who submit articles to HN can not editorialize the titles. Basically, the rule is that the title on HN should be exactly the same as the title of the blog post. Except here, Dang is breaking that rule. The initial title of this submission on HN was exactly the same as the blog post. But Dang is objecting to the title of the blog post. That is why Dang&#x27;s actions seem arbitrary: Dang has decided to break HN&#x27;s normal rules. And why? Because of a feeling that the blog post had a title that was &quot;over the top&quot;.<p>Have you read the comment that Dang makes at the URL that you just posted? Dang says &quot;Please don&#x27;t editorialize the titles of stories you submit here.&quot; And yet, here Dang is editorializing the title of the story submitted here.
