The fact that yborg's comment below got flagged and immediately downvoted to death might be some proof of their claim that there might be some astroturfing going on even here.

Timed for the energy build-up around the debate, the surrender, and even the Richmond song. It will take great discipline to keep communities from being leveled or downgraded over the next year.
