I think the point is that the title suggests it's speaking for the whole of hacker news. That can be quite irritating... A simple change of wording on the title would have been a good idea - "Fantastic street seller, as featured in NYTimes, passed" I don't think it's good to edit titles to pass opinion, especially when you're suggesting you're speaking for some group. It's similar to a headline like "England devastated by death of Princess Diana". Erm well, it was shocking and sad, but I wasn't devastated.

I certainly see your point. The guy wasn't one of my heroes either. But it just seems petty to continue to belabor the point after the first time it's been made. This is one of the few times that I wish there was private messaging here. There is clearly some reflexive downvoting going on in this thread, and it really shouldn't be that way - people shouldn't be punished for having a conversation.
