My take is if you post something with an obnoxious, click-baity title... then you pretty much need to take responsibility for the gut-level impressions, and general bad, lingering aftertaste that title invokes in people. In particular: you can expect them to read your 1,000-word post to the end, and and attempt to divine what your hidden intentions were in choosing that title. And my other take is that not every article out there needs to be cross-posted; and putting a gratuitously offensive title at the top is a perfect way of indicating to people that you don't think really merits sharing. If someone is smart enough to tease out the performance nuances of an as insanely overcomplicated engineering contraption as Perl 6... then surely they're smart enough to think of a better article title.
