  You are not allowed to comment this way on HN. This is spelled out in the guidelines, and is probably the single most common mod correction Dan gives.

    Yep, fair enough. I'll remove the comment. Others have phrased it better.

  It's sad that the "well you're just a paid shill" retort is used to heavily nowadays. Not just for GMO related discussions either. It's got to be the laziest, empty non-argument out there and I wish more people would call it out for what it is.

    Personally, I blame the rise of paid shills for the rise of accusations of being a paid shill. It's hard work imagining what mental gymnastics people do to rationalize a career spreading lies. Not so much the people who desperately take the job of repeating them, but the people who strategize around what they can get the public to believe.
