(57,936 posts)understand why so many of us are grateful to Snowden.

If you don't like Snowden why be among the first to respond to threads about him?
I note that when a Snowden thread goes up, a predictable crew arrives to diss the thread while with or without knowledge of it, give the thread momentum on the DU roster of threads.
Interesting phenomenon.
It's as if a bandwagon effect were being attempted on DU. Of course, I would not claim that was the intention, but it does have that effect.
If you don't like Snowden, then ignore the posts about him. That's the best thing to do unless you think that the post is bound to be very popular in any event.
