It's a think tank, not a newswire. It has policy positions and opinions. It's completely expected for them to write articles and titles applauding or "regretting" policy moves.

Applauding and regretting and whatnot are both leagues more respectful than your outlandish example.

Oh, now you're favoring "respect" over "truly independent thinking"? How odd.

Would you please stop posting inflammatory and uncivil comments to HN? Especially on divisive topics, where they act as flamebait.

We're hoping for a higher quality of discussion here and that requires maintaining a slightly artificial level of self-discipline when annoyed, regardless of what we're annoyed by.

I didn't say that, and you're (probably intentionally) misreading my post.

Your original complaint was that they insulted Google by taking a policy stance against them, and that they might as well have made a title regarding sex acts. I was telling you that is ridiculous.

Please don't post uncivil or unsubstantive comments to HN. This one is unfortunately both, even if your underlying point is correct.
