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.

Then flag it and move on. You following this user around with an RSS feed is bizarre.
I didn't want it flagged, I wanted it corrected. It's fundamentally a good article.

No, "bizarre" is butchering a Reuters title to fit your pet theory. Following users with a unified feed is the basis of most social media.

Your intent is to harass this particular user. That is pretty uncool, and yes, strange.
My original comment is literally asking for a guideline-friendly title.
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).
