Indeed, and the shock value is necessary given the low quality anti West garbage emanating from the Russia * * camp.

My assertion is that HN has been overtaken by intelligent / unethical / ostensibly respectful trolls. I know a thing or two about this; such behavior used to occur only on Reddit. Why does Snowden exist as a public figure? I have evidence. No I’m not sharing it now.

Topic remains valid. Humanity can’t even agree on what kinds of privacy and for whom are best for society. Conversation hasn’t even occurred yet.

Witness how my comment was cleaned up to be respectful, leaving only the relevant parts, only to end up downvoted into the ether. It would be nice if a moderator could unflag my original comment since it’s relevant, as another commenter pointed out.

You seem to have good writing skills. Can you now respond to my post whereby I’ve made the claim that Snowden has committed treason, weakened US national security, and possibly ticked off a decline in interest for working for US intelligence?

If the public is aware of our intel capabilities as a direct result of Snowden’s action, it seems close to certain that my points are correct.

Edited, thanks. I doubt the downvotes will be undone, though.

Just watch how I get down voted here. Tells you a lot about the culture here.
