There was a time when your comments here would be discussed and generally agreed with instead of blindly downvoted and removed.
Come to think of it, I can't remember the last time HN had a good discussion about US censorship and surveillance.
Weird.
- dang 8y agoWould you please stop posting flamewar comments to HN? They only lower the quality of this site even further.
- viivaux 8y agoThere was no legitimate reason to remove this man's comments. He provided a legitimate perspective, and wasn't flaming anyone or being rude. Defending him was your job, not mine.
- dang 8y agoDefending someone is no reason to break the site guidelines. If you keep doing that, we will ban you. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19187633 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19187633 was particularly unacceptable.
- alexandercrohde 8y agoWell as somebody who is very anti US-monitoring, let me help you understand: Your comments are so unproductive (i.e. emotional/irrelevant/us-vs-them) that they actually undermine the cause you say you're concerned about. You give the rest of us a bad name.

- viivaux 8y agoOh cool, glad to hear it! I certainly don't hear the standpoint here much. Maybe you could show me how to make a comment that's actually productive, maybe you have examples of your own? I don't even know if you can read this, as it looks as if my comment was entirely deleted. Anyway I sure fucking love getting patronised, super cool way to keep "the cause" alive, "tech dude".
