How would you feel if your hacker news posts over the years were trolled into a very personal post about you on hacker news, done by a hacker news employee? The whole thing is creepy.

- untog 13y agoI'm sorry, but since when has quoting what someone publicly said been a "hatchet job"? 90% of it is quotes of what Snowden said, there's very little commentary. As the article pointed out, his identity on Ars Forums was already outed by Buzzfeed.
- Cushman 13y agoThe term you're looking for is "quote mining". If you take only the most opinionated parts from a large enough corpus, you can make almost anyone seem like an obsessive radical. It's all the more dishonest for that it claims honesty on the basis of technical truth. (I challenge anyone investigating my past to include this tidbit :)
