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.
If 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.
Sorry 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.
