Or maybe because if there is one thing the world doesn't need, it's yet another thread devolving into flamewars about the Israel/Palestine conflict?
replyThen don't make this thread. One can't discuss an issue about Israel/middle east's internet connection while pretending the war doesn't exist. Technical issues don't float in a perfect vacuum sphere.

replyI agree. But if there is a chance to not immediately draw in the wrong crowd... I prefer if people take it.
You've been here long enough to understand that would exceed the title character limit.
replyI just tested it. Copied&pasted the original title into submit form.
replyNope. Right within the limit.

replyYour 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.
reply"You are factually incorrect" is not moving the goalposts.
replyShifting 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.
replyNot 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.
I can only assume that mob of fresh accounts is sockpuppets meant precisely for trying to stir up conflict and detract from discussion of the actual topics raised by a story like this. Sorry if I accidentally gave them opportunity for more oxygen than necessary.
replyIt'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
replyYour comment reads like a tweet. But I agree with you!
