I just don't understand why there are some people who still attempt to attack the Intruder. Thankyou to those Machinists and Cyphs who tried to talk to it, and did not try to attack it just because it seemed hostile.
((Personally I'm glad that the whispers at the end about there being thoeries about him were shown. Info from a LE should be given to everyone, or everyone there at the time at least, not one person unless specifically intended that way. As for technical problems... please keep them out of LE's especially problems that have been acknowledged by the Dev team and the Producer))

The Machines have labelled the Intruder as a problem, someone who isn't supposed to be in the Matrix at all, so therefore, we must remove him when the time presents itself.
Apart from Pace's initial attempt the Machines have not asked us to attempt to remove the Intruder and now the Machines are being very tight lipped about it. So far, from what we've seen, all our efforts and the Systems initial efforts to remove him from the simulation have failed. Physical violence doesn't work and viral attacks aren't brilliant.
In order to successfully nullify any threat this 'person' may have to the system we need to know more about him. Until the Machines are forthcoming with information we should only attempt to protect the simulation and the blues if necessary however, It seems that the only time it's been a threat is with direct confrontation.

Mr.GodGiver, we don't play.
I can't help but admit I'm intrigued by this man. Keep an eye on him, brothers and sisters.

But Pyraci's got the idea right - the Accelerated Man's got an iron resolve and he's not about t kowtow to anybody. If he's got questions, he's going to be here until he gets answers. And I'm going to do what I can to help him. Seems like Zion and EPN are of the same mind, too.

I'm sure it's as obvious to the Intruder as it is to everyone else that Zion and EPN just want to use him as a weapon against the Machines...just like Zion wanted to use the General as a weapon against whoever they thought was their enemy that week. I'm sure this will work out just as well for Zion.

The belief that violent means are the only way to remove a problem is a strange one, especially considering how successful those who have tried using violence against the Intruder have been.
If he were to be persuaded to our side, the problem he presents would be removed. If he could be shown how his actions endanger the lives of millions of unawakened humans and this stopped him, the problem would be removed. Etc. Killing him is not the only option for removal, even if you don't consider the fact we know nothing about him and upon killing him once, he may just return anyway.
It's not surprising that the Machines' apologists try to diminish the potential tactical significance of the Intruder, even as those same apologists are kept completely out of the loop by the Machines. I'm sure that this blind faith in the Machines' mercy/beneficence/victimhood (or however Machinists justify their allegiance this week) will work out just super.
In any event, I suspect the Intruder is not likely to allow itself to be "used" by anyone, as a weapon or otherwise. At the same time, anything that can level a pack of Agents with a snap of its fingers is something I'd like to get to know a little better.
