The context of people accusing Sleek of shillery should have tipped you off that I wasn't making that claim, I was making the claim that if someone were paid to shill on a topic, they wouldn't do so heavily from one single account over the course of 6 years. They would want to distance themselves from the topic to avoid accusations of a vested interest. Someone who just has a personal interest would have no such concern.
You really don't seem to get it, do you?
Everything you write here is wrong.
If you do not believe he is a shill, that is exactly what a shill should do.
You also apparently didn't understand the criticism you were faced with.
Also, "astroturfing" refers to making it look like there's widespread community support, not individuals "shilling".
As is exactly the case in this thread.
If there were vote bots controlling discourse on topics the admins would certainly have exposed it like they have with Gawker in the past.
You make more and more completely irrelevant and invalid assumptions. Vote bots?
I offhandedly used MTG in your profile
Where am I talking about MTG in my profile? I'm not the only person explaining to you that you are wrong.
as an example of how one person can talk extensively about a single topic without being a "shill" for that topic.
And I already explained to you that and why your "example" is invalid and ridiculous.
Anyone above a grade school reading level should have picked up on that.
And then you make a bunch of completely unsupported claims
Hilarious.
to really hammer home the fact that you're only accusing them of shillery because you have a bunch of preconceived notions (namely that they're evil) and you don't understand why anyone would defend them unless they're paid to do it.
You have no arguments and have already been argued against.
You apparently neither understood the explanations as of why you are wrong nor are able to respond to them.
Your hilarious and desperate attempt to attack me personally won't make you any less wrong... about everything you said. It's truly amazing how someone can be so utterly wrong in everything he believes. Are you American or something?
