"But I've been watching you post the same thing..."

...why?

The point is you really seem to have an inordinately large axe to grind that has almost nothing to do with a solution orientation; and almost exclusively, always seems to be nothing more than a Snowden bash.

What do you get out of it?

I enjoy expressing my opinion. The point appears to be that you don't like criticism of Snowden. Oh well.
