No, nearly all of the people that I have seen support Singapore on HN are active contributors who comment on a wide variety of issues.
Also, you are probably thinking of the JIDF: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Internet_Defense_Force http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Internet_Defense_Force
- oh_sigh 13y agoHmm, the JIDF may have been what I was thinking of, but as I recall, there is some kind of desktop program which streamlines the user registration/"upvoting" feature on any arbitrary website(perhaps by just making you solve the captcha, and automating the rest), which broadcasts relevant stories to pro-zionist netizens computers to instantaneously upvote or bury. I wasn't trying to suggest that all pro-singapore commenters fit that mold, but that that possibility may explain why pro-singapore responses appear disproportionately in any article or comment involving singapore.
