He obviously meant the title of the HN post? Why not straight up say that the article title is different and avoid the passive aggressiveness.

I see the passive aggressiveness only in your response, not the parent.

I did not meant it in that way...and I would bet, most did not interpret it as such...the passive aggressiveness is coming from you.

I meant it that the poster, changed the original title, what is a kind of editorializing. I thought of calling on the mods to edit it back, but judged that would be a kind of... semi-passive aggressiveness.

I don't think there's anything 'passive' about specifically asking for what you think should be done!

> the passive aggressiveness is coming from you.

could you explain this? the comment you're replying to, how is it passive-aggressive? seems more regular-aggressive to me.

It came of kinda passive aggressive to me, to be honest!
