Why do you speak with such certainty? How can you possibly know if anything you just said is accurate?

Don't bother, hes a pro government shill with an upvote brigade and special privileges here on HN.

HN is largely astro turfed and bringkng that up results in bans because its against the guidelines. The mods lie all the time about this stuff.

tptacek has no special privileges on HN (edit: that I know about).

All my special privileges on HN come from my NSA affiliation.
