I mostly agree and I think your last paragraph is the best thermometer: the "political" discussions involving the NSA scandals mostly have not sparked enmity, and since most people agree on the political stance towards these, the discussion can healthily lean towards the implications of it for information freedom and technology and how we can fight these advances to our privacy through our tech and internet savvy. So I deem (most) of the posts a good thing, except where it gets repetitive with similar stories in frontpage spots across days or even at the same time, and have not once thought about flagging one.
Ehh, I wouldn't go that far. We mostly agree on these stories political, but some of us don't agree "enough". There has definitely been enmity on some of the NSA threads.
