The title here is editorialized, I'd prefer to keep her original title.
- Normal_gaussian 10y agoAh yes. Removing "Heartbreaking" is something I would agree with. However I would not have read an article with the other title - it makes it seem like more fluff about terrorists.
- quickly 10y agoYes, exactly. I would not have come across this had the editorialized title not gained more traction.

- anexprogrammer 10y agoQuite so. The title changed after I'd clicked the link. Without the mention of it being a piece by Robin Williams wife I'd have skipped over assuming it another piece about radicalisation.
- ScottBurson 10y agoI saw the other title and skipped it. I think this one is fine as is. ETA: I suppose "The terrorist in Robin Williams' brain" would be a fair compromise.
- Normal_gaussian 10y agoMentioning that it is written by his widow was a large factor in me clicking the link.
- DennisP 10y agoEditorialized or not, actually mentioning that it's about Robin Williams is helpful. I skipped the other link, and I'm glad I didn't miss the article.
- srean 10y agoIts a little unfortunate that the bag of metaphors in popular American discourse have come to contain little beyond "war against *" and "terrorists".
