Please don't impute astroturfing or shillage. That degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried, email us and we'll look at the data.
Give it a rest or try Slashdot. You’ll definitely get a +5 Informative.
- icxa 8y agoIf you interpreted that statement as me specifically saying that commenter is a shill, you should probably take a rest from social media as well, and take a step back to realize the negative lens you are viewing things through.
- WalterGR 8y agoIf you interpreted that statement as me specifically saying that commenter is a shill I don’t understand. Which commenter are you referring to? You weren’t replying to anyone. In so doing you implicated anyone saying something along the lines of "I switched from Mac to Windows, loving it!" as being a possible shill. you should probably take a rest from social media as well, and take a step back to realize the negative lens you are viewing things through. I don’t understand how that follows from anything. Accusing people of being shills is against the policies of this website. End of story.
