- marcus 19y agoYou shouldn't get offended by the term misleading, we all see a ton of posts on different sites every day, and maintaining the titles accuracy can help us as readers save our brain cycles and help decide which articles to read. For example this post wasted a few minutes of our time. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=103414 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=103414 Lets strive as a community to be accurate and helpful and leave the inaccuracies to reddit.
- gojomo 19y agoNo insult was intended with the term 'misleading' -- it was a description of the headline sentence itself, and not about the author or the author's intentions. Can you suggest a better term for describing a headline that has a high risk of creating mistaken impressions in readers?
- greendestiny 19y agoFor the record, you're right the title is misleading and I shouldn't have been offended. I've got a nasty ear infection and my judgement is clearly off. My apologies.
