I understand the title was a clickbait. But, in such case, it could have been requested to be changed, no? It's been the case for some submissions I've seen that initially clickbait title was rephrased into something more honest and objective.
For example, "Rich Saltz leaves OpenSSL after rejected master/parent rename proposal".
No conspiracy theory here (might've sounded like one). Both the mail thread and the PR were interesting to read.
- yesenadam 6y agoYes, you and wcerfgba both sound like you assumed mods removed it, and "for no reason". Why else Ask HN "Why it got removed?" Not exactly a conspiracy theory, but leaping to assume mods removed it, then asking "Why was it removed?" is how conspiracy theorists operate, not how you find the truth. If you really want the truth (not just my guess!), write to HN by email, they will give you a helpful answer I'm sure. But I don't think there was anything right in what wcerfgba said to you. If you want it discussed, (which maybe the issue already has been, did you check?) write a blog post on it and submit that, or submit it again as news – not an AskHN – writing a comment explaining what you think is fascinating about it. The title when I looked a few hours ago was just "Goodbye", hardly clickbait - not sure why anyone would click on it. Not sure what interesting stuff you mean, for me it was a short indecipherable message with no context, links, meaning - nothing about it I wouldn't flag, had I looked.
- kroolik 6y agoYes, I might've indeed sent an email to HN instead of posting this AskHN post. Thanks a lot!
