To summarize my two other comments, talk of anything remotely against the whims of HN mods gets your account, your submissions deaded.
Nevermind how _hackers_ who have taken on the White House, Washington Post and others are defecting against Assad due to his chemical attacks[1]. The topic involves a whiff of politics so it must be moderated against! Any hacker, technical, code related aspects are ignored if one shred of the topic goes against the whims of HN mods.

- jacquesm 13y agoIf you keep going like this I think you'll need a new account soon. HN is pretty fair when it comes to talking about things that go against the whims of the moderators, if it weren't I would have been banned long ago.

- Questioneer 13y agoSorry for the late-ish reply, but the point I think I failed to elaborate on fully enough was that the topic of politics is tolerated here as long as it is relate-able to most. But if it involves a topic like Syrians, even if the topic involves Bluecoat.com's hardware being used to track dissidents, something most users here fear the NSA/GCHQ may be doing, it is down-voted. The accounts that post it have been hell banned if they dare point out the relevance of the issue if ethnic and national borders are ignored. "If I keep going on like this," this is something I have to do, before I have examples of white dissidents to show as well.
