Then I would have appreciated if the mods would have given me a choice to edit my title. But they didn't. They made it feeble and ruined my 15 minutes of fame.
Posting it on your blog didn't get you any attention, right? It was posting it here.
HN linked to your site, and promoted it to their front page, and displayed it with a title you didn't give it. That's totally fine, and expected & encouraged by the larger community.
Quit insulting your readers intelligence with clickbait titles, or push your blogspam somewhere else please. Your sense of entitlement is astonishing.
There is nothing stopping you from sharing your cruft (and bait titles) on other platforms. If you want to share it here, play by the rules or take your precious text elsewhere.
Your casual appeal to (your own) authority is juvenile. Not surprised this is your first 15 minutes of fame. Let us all hope it is the last.
