Yes, I know we should avoid linking threads from the Pit

The Pit thread that happens to be on top at the moment I’m composing this is about Fox News and the thread title contains insulting language directed at Fox.

But I can put the link to that OP together with an anodyne and misleading title: Everyone Loves Cute Kitten Pictures. And here’s the same url as a blank innocuous Click here to read about those so-and-so’s.

A hover-over of either will display the actual URL which includes the insulting language directed at Fox.

I’m not trying to salami slice here to sneak past the intent of the rules. Just pointing out ways people can create links to threads or posts that aren’t the default obvious kind when there’s already a problematic title in the thing they’re referencing.

Whether these maneuvers violate the letter or the intent is something for the mods to tell me/us.
