I love it. Someone posts a comment in public forum saying that people can't write dissenting thoughts because of the chilling effect of government surveillance. Someone else asks a question in response that doesn't quite fit with the political climate on HN, and is subsequently downvoted to the point where the comment is barely readable. Irony is dead.
