A thank you to Democratic Underground, and a plea.

192. I happen to disagree . . .

The top poster spent most of his paragraph complaining about how argumentative and factional strings on DU "have become." Then he closed with a subtle allusion to that kind of thing happening often on strings dealing with the NSA. The not so hidden message being that we should all be ashamed of ourselves for not just accepting that the people spying on our electronic communications are doing what is best for the country, and for ourselves. I suspect he may have more than a casual reason for trying to influence us to be more civil and cooperative, especially toward the activities of the National Security Administration.

I have noticed a number of low-post-number individuals showing up recently who seem more directly intent on protecting our snoops, by ridiculing the work of investigative journalists, such as Glenn Greenwald. Perhaps it is only coincidence that they are suddenly showing up in such numbers, but perhaps not.


BTW: We have had our run-ins before, so I find it a little odd that you still read my posts? You are, of course, welcome to read all you want, yet they do seem to upset you so very much.
