...I have been watching and participating in these threads since the Snowden saga began. If you want to talk about packs, fine, as long as you don't carefully leave out the pack that swarms around any pro-Greenwald or pro-Snowden post, trotting out the day's talking points as if they are contributing anything of substance to the discussion.
Yes I saw what Skinner had to say. I both respect the principles stated, and yet fear that this very principled position may be a bit naive as to the present-day reality on our beloved Internet. And before you say it, no I am not implying anything about ProSense. As I mentioned in my response to her, I expected that particular post of mine to be hidden because I knew it was skirting the rules but at the time I did not care. The post was not alerted on or at least, not hidden. Oh well. Had I been on the jury and it was someone else's post I probably would have voted to hide it -- I try to be fair when serving on our juries here, and not let agreement or disagreement with the post get in the way of a fair assessment of whether it adheres to DU's rules.
With all that said, I think it is highly amusing that I've been accused of derailing the OP here, and told to use the Ignore feature, but the one thing that has not happened is the people who disagree with me, and who think this is stopping discussion of the "real" issues... those posters have not stopped replying to this diversionary subthread.
Mission accomplished, I guess.
