Telling me that I might want to revise my definition of misleading is essentially calling me stupid. You aren't the OP to whom I replied, the mods changed the title already, AND my first comment was down voted into the negatives. So, this looks like a gratuitous personal attack to me. You doubling down looks even more petty.

It is no wonder dang feels HN has a civility problem and hoped he could cure it by doing a political detox week, which did not work because it wasn't the issue.

I'm sorry if you got downvoted because of me. My cynism is probably the cause.

However, if you think having an argument is calling you stupid and is a personal attack then this is your own problem.

I had upvoted your comments and I liked your reply. It doesn't mean I agree with you, and it doesn't mean Im here to get you neither.

Article titles are and will always be a problem on HN. This won't change, all we can do is try to point out when there is a problem with them and then immediately complain when the mods editorialised them a little bit much.

Arguing and calling someone stupid are not the same thing. I can make the distinction. Telling me it is my problem is another personal attack. I stand by my statement that your remarks here fail to meet a standard of civility.
