I'm the one who posted the /r/conspiracy thread linked in the OP. I don't recall saying anything about "Jews". All I said was that it was shills. And it is. As far as I can see anyway. I don't appreciate ad hominem attacks, and I even less appreciate people who choose to be wilfully ignorant. Please read the evidence I posted before making any judgments.
The people who posted those comments in the first place had them copied by Lellux, and he admitted that. You've just started a witch hunt against innocent people.
Yeah, that guy totally wasn't trying to play it off and cover his ass. If he would have said something before the shitstorm, that might have been credible.
Do you honestly think this guy is just a shill who's really fucking bad at his job? I could go ahead and copy other supporters comments like he did, and you guys would go ahead and accuse me and everyone I copied of being a shill. Your "evidence" is a load of shit, and you're hurting innocent people with this witch hunt.
Oh yeah?! Well, your evidence is- wait, you don't have any. Other than the word of the person accused of being a shill. Which is trustworthy of course, because if an internet shill is anything it's upfront and honest. What the hell did you expect them to do? Post their contract to imgur and say "Ya got me guys! Good one!"?
You're grasping at straws here. You're letting some random fuckers antics and trolling on reddit hurt the reputations of innocent people with honest opinions. The people whose comments were copied are all fairly active redditors who do shit besides "shill Facebook" and you have absolutely no evidence that they were "bought out". The only evidence presented is circumstantial at best, and it's no justification for your stupid witch hunt.
So AssuredlyAThrowAway, EnoughNoLibsSpam, and Ambiguously_Ironic are all shills because they posted the same comment within minutes of each other? I don't think the mod of /r/conspiracy is going to like that you're calling him a shill.
I agree that the anti-semitism implication was too far. I don't know if I agree with you about shills though, people overreact and jump to that conclusion all the time.
Yeah, I apologize for that, I was making cover-alls for all the subreddits usual antics
Imma go ahead and remove that part from the post
You should check the comments on your submission. AssuredlyAThrowAway, EnoughNoLibsSpam, and Ambiguously_Ironic all made the same comment within minutes of each other. That means one of your mods is a shill.
