We've banned the account for using HN to pursue a narrow political agenda. HN's purpose is to gratify intellectual curiosity, and the site can only work if submitters post a variety of articles about different topics, rather than posting articles about the same topic repeatedly.
>You (and a few other outliers) have their comment history piped into an RSS feed that I check regularly, solely because you refuse to write ordinary comments or submissions. Your post history can even be traced across accounts with basic stylometry, nothing about your contributions are subtle, normal, or genuine.
I don't believe you are a HN mod, frankly this looks like harassment/stalking. Write an email to Dang if it bothers you.
You don't have to be an HN mod to do any of that. The title is negligent and misleading to readers, as well as unfair to Reuters.
There's nothing wrong with the article's contents or speculation. This is a high-quality submission besides OP's insistence on putting their opinions in the title instead of the comment section.
Please stop. Dang has asked you to stop targeting individual users like this, and now I'm asking. It's ugly conduct, and it doesn't even achieve the outcome you want. Indeed it's most likely to achieve the opposite; fixating on individuals only gives them more energy and resolve. If you see a wrong title on a submission, or a pattern of abusive conduct, please email us (hn@ycombinator.com).
