Title editorialized. Original title is "How to work with me". To quote dang from 12 hours ago: > It's against the HN guidelines to editorialize titles like this. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html : "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

OP is the author. When an author submits the item to HN it is common to do like here, writing a HN specific title for the submission that is different from the title on the page itself.

It's true that when it's clear that the submitter is the author, we often leave their preferred title in place.

But the submitted title in this case ("Every person should come with a user manual. So I created one for me.") was baity and therefore against the site guidelines, so we reverted it the way we normally do.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I did nothing that is against the guidelines, and you did not repeatedly ask me to stop whatever (I honestly don't even know what you mean). I think you are just projecting something. I did nothing in this thread that is against the guidelines whatsoever. And not in my previous comments, either. The only thing I did I guess is to voice an opinion or inconvenient truth that you personally don't like. I can see no othe…

Surely you can see how "You are just completely clueless" (to pick one example) was against the site guidelines? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30853438 https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html It's hard to think of a more obvious violation than that one. Moderating such comments has zero to do with your opinions. We don't know or care what your opinions are.

I think it is a pretty reasonable response to the type of comment that was directed at me. ("you, sir, are a fire. in dumpster. omg."). I don't think you will find a single instance of me insulting anybody without them directing hate and insults against me.

Yet somehow you protect those people and not me. Sorry I can not respect you for that.

You seem to be saying it was ok for you to break the guidelines because someone else did it first. That's not how it works. It always feels like the other person started it and did worse, so that approach is a recipe for a downward spiral: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=downward%20spiral%20by:dang&da...

If you feel like you're personally being singled out for more stringent moderation, that's an illusion. I don't recognize your username (nor most usernames on HN). It's true that I banned you where I only warned the other user (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30856521) but that's I looked up the history and saw that you'd been warned (and indeed, banned) more than once before, and because your account was considerably more abusive overall.

If the other user continues to break the site guidelines we will end up banning them also.

Aside from the reflexive “yikes, dude” that this gives me, I wouldn’t trust the content itself. A manual written by someone who’s worked with you for years would be far more valuable. But my first impression of a person who hands me something like this is going to be “what past interpersonal disasters have you wrought that led you to put time into something like this?” …case in point is a current coworker of mine, wh…

And thats why, sir all personality tests are ultra-biased :)
