Now, according to BBC, Wikileaks has released another incredible piece of [the CIA] arsenal. Wikileaks reportedly released the code that the CIA uses to disguise the origins of a computer virus as a part of Vault 7.
These hacking tools reportedly include decoy languages like Russian to disguise the national origins of the cyber attack or malware. The release may disrupt the CIA's current operations and reveal previous cyber operations.

Bingo. I love watching people dismiss a message simply because they can't stand agreeing with the messenger.
Makes life simpler, actually. See a post by TMB? No need to read, it's by TMB! Milo needs more hits on his webpage? Well, no need to go there. So there, you see, I am dismissing this post, since it is by TMB, and that does not mean I agree with the message, it is just that I disagree with it coming from TMB, or anyone of similar disrepute.

You dislike trolling now? The cognitive dissonance in that position is off the charts.

Sorry, I am dismissing your post. But someone already said, there is a difference between the art of trolling, and bomb (or Milo) throwing. Trolling for Social Justice is meant to provoke actual discussion, not shut it down as you have done here.

Seems like we've had a lot of posts for a shut down discussion. Maybe you count differently than I do.

Of course I do! Like Karl Rove, I have the real numbers! Lots of posts, yes, but not on the topic of the article. It is almost like your submission is a self-threadjacking article! Do you see this? Can you acknowledge it? Confess, Buzzard! Confess!

S'true. I was shooting for discussion both on the article's subject and on the source. Which I got, so I'm not inclined to adjust my methodology.

No, Buzz, you didn't get both. And SoylentNews is not about what you are shooting for. So please do adjust your methodology, because, sir, I do not see any method.
(In case your under-educated self is wondering, this is a reference to "Apocalypse Now", a movie based loosely on Joseph Conrad's novella, "The Heart of Darkness". Col. Kurz asks the person sent to take him out, "you do not approve of my methods?" So there we are, Buzzard, like the sacrificial water-buffalo of American Foreign Policy in SouthEast Asia: And you say, in all seriousness: "We had to destroy SoylentNews in order to Save it. After all, it was infested with SJWs". Remember this. You are responsible. There is such a thing as troll responsibility, and personal responsibility, and ethical fishing. If SoylentNews goes down, I am blaming you. And I am not alone.)

Sure it is. It's also about what you're shooting for. And Ethanol Fueled. And jmorris. And VLM. And butthurt. And even Azuma Hazuki.
We don't exist to serve any one person's agenda. We exist so that everyone has a voice.
Fuck Beta.
