Please post your rationale behind your choice too, I am genuinely curious as to the opinion of Snowden 3 years later

Interesting to understand what is the rationale behind those saying no. Is it only about setting precedent?

Wow this story is already down to position 29 in the rankings so doubt we will get much insight

Violent tribal gang behavior is standard human protocol.

Curious to hear that as well. In my POV there isl no reason he should ne threaded like he is now.

Wow this got buried to page two within 15 minutes. Just so HackerNews knows people like me and oyjrrss others have been mining the positions of article rankings and will be publishing the complete reverse engineered algorithm behind the article rankings on news.ycombinator.com very soon

It is strange that you think you can reverse engineer it, strange that you would want to do so, and strangest of all that you would announce your intentions on a story that has nothing to do with HN's rankings.

It seems you are just angry that this post didn't get as much attention as you hoped.
