Can we fix the title? The use of scare quotes on “rethinking” specifically.
- dang 7y agoThose are not scare quotes, they're standard quotes. They add the information that Gitlab used that word. Scare quotes are used to express irony or skepticism when you're not quoting someone.
- acollins1331 7y agoI didn't even make a throwaway account to call you a shill, it's that obvious.
- dang 7y agoThis breaks more than one of the site guidelines, but especially the one against insinuating astroturfing or shillage without evidence. That's a serious violation. Please read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and don't do that when posting here. Edit: we had to ask you not to break the site guidelines just a few days ago as well. Doing that repeatedly will eventually get your account banned, so please don't do that.
- colejohnson66 7y agoI am not a shill. Why I even need to say that, I don’t know... I will admit I have not yet read the webpage, but the use of scare quotes is wrong. Regardless of your views, HN says not to editorialize headlines. Putting quotes around “rethinking” is showing a bias against the webpage. That’s editorializing.

- hnarn 7y agoScare quotes? They literally say: >We're going to process the feedback and rethink our approach.
