It's not my title. I never editorialize titles.

Maybe The Atlantic realized the ambiguity and changed it. Their current headline for it is "This Is How a Prisoner of War Feels About Torture".

That's a goddamn fucking terrible headline.

When you make a post the title becomes yours.

It is a little chicken shit to add content then claim that the content isn't yours.

First of all, don't appreciate the tone. Secondly, I think it's actually completely disingenuous to change titles. I present the content that was presented to me. Take that as you will. But if you follow me on here, you will know that I'm not adding link bait titles etc. I used the "submit to Hubski" button for all of the posts I present here, unless it is original content. We provide a space below the title of the post for editorializing, that's the way I see it. Calling me chickenshit, well that's one step away from getting muted. I don't need that sort of sentiment when I come here.

Some users like to cherry pick single quotes from nuanced comments and shit on them just to be all cute and ornery.
