Yes, but Glenn and Snowden are deities on HN. Your comment won't stand for long.
Edit: you've been using HN primarily (exclusively?) for political and ideological battle. We ban accounts that do that, regardless of what ideology they're battling for (and regardless of overgeneralizations about "deities"). We have to, because this is the #1 thing that destroys HN for its intended purpose of curious conversation, and because raging hellfires have burning all over this site lately. You've also broken the site guidelines egregiously and repeatedly in other ways, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25694321. That's not cool.
I've therefore banned your account. If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future. They are here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
No, we don't agree with whoever your political adversaries are. We're merely trying to maintain some semblance of an interesting internet forum, or at least to stave off decline: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so....
I am not lighting fires, I am pointing out unpopular opinions and statements of fact.
I see where you are coming from, but this is enforcing group think under the guise of community management.
Banning me for pointing out attacking sacred cows is not allowed here is as much of a bookend as I require.
"Pointing out unpopular opinions and statements of fact" and "banning me for attacking sacred cows" are what every troll says (right or left). Even if that were a fair description of snarky flaming, which it isn't, you don't need to break the site guidelines to do those things. That's the issue here. Most commenters manage to stay within the guidelines, so it's not hard if you choose to.
