Censorship On Hacker News

I can see why the original headline might have been edited for clarity - the mental leap from "porno site" to "productivity porn" is non-obvious.<p>I'd be more inclined to chalk this one up to miscommunication (the bad headline) and good intentions (editing the headline for clarity) than I would to call this outright censorship.

I received a great email from Andrew de Andrade, a fellow Hacker News reader, on why what I perceived to be censorship wasn't, and how it was my fault as the link submitter for not providing a title that provided better utility to the community.<p>Please, accept my sincerest apologies for my misunderstanding and for jumping to conclusions. This article was not written out of malice towards Hacker News, but rather as an attempt to bring clarity to what is and isn't accepted in this community.<p>I've added a note on the post apologizing for offending anyone, and inviting anyone who would like to discuss the issue further to reach me via email (hello [at] patdryburgh.com)<p>Thanks for your patience and understanding.<p>Pat
