I just tested it. Copied&pasted the original title into submit form.

Nope. Right within the limit.

Goal post moving.

It doesn't work adding it to the actual title, and the Github issue title is misleading without the context of what the issue is published on, so babuskov is doing us a favor by setting one that's informative.

  • Your hostility isn't helping things either. "You've been here long enough to understand" followed by an incorrect usage of "goal post moving" makes you look like an agitator.

  • "You are factually incorrect" is not moving the goalposts.

    Shifting to a completely unrelated argument is moving the goalposts because you can't stand to be wrong.

    • etiam's right that "in Israel and possibly other middle east countries" wouldn't fit onto the HN title, which is relevant to raincole's clickbait accusation. The original Github issue title fits, but that doesn't specify "Valve" or the timeframe.

      Not that it'd be particularly hard to reword to fit all information. Feel like things are getting unnecessarily agitated ("You've been here long enough to understand", "you can't stand to be wrong", "Bro was never more glad there's anonymity on the internet", etc.) for no real reason.

It's so funny when people come up with these arguments so confidently and then seeing them getting disproved so quick. Bro was never more glad there's anonymity on the internet
