I'm not so worried about being seen as a shill as some sort of insult, I'm more worried by the logic that would follow if I was deemed a shill. It would make sense that if you see someone as a puppet designed to spout malicious rhetoric that you'd just want to ban them because what they're saying is lies regardless of if their logic is based on facts or not. I'm being a bit paranoid, I know, but I'd be lying if it didn't cross my mind when I comment over there. It will most likely be fine and there's no way it would actually stop me from speaking my mind, but I guess I'm mainly worried that people won't even give me the time of day because of the label and even worse: ban me because of it.

Like I said, most likely me being overly cautious, but I can't help feeling that way either.

Them calling you a shill is merely a self-defence mechanism against thinking too hard. When you start making good points, they start to stop calling you a shill. (I learned that the hard way; I had to actually make good points instead of just bad points about Correct Things™.)
