Who was banned and why? Love the pic, btw. Gay Gonzo Fireman is the best porn genre.

I'm not sure what the original reason was (I don't think I was around back then), but he's made, like, eighty accounts to spam ads, vote his own posts, advocate violence, and sexualize minors.

I have a suspicion he's also that Cher guy.

He's getting that sweet, sweet Soros money.

There are Russian shills who do this, not to favor one political party or another, but to stir up divisive arguments, hatred &c. This benefits authoritarian leaders and approaches. There are recent academic studies of this. Soros is not interested.

Know a lot about shills do you?

See my reply to Velocity.

"See my reply..." sounds like I'm reading a shill's flow chart. "User is opposed to preferred narrative ---- use logical fallacy."

OK - don't see my reply.

Better?

The Ol "Russian" shills trope. They're certainly shills of some flavor trying to destabilize open speech communities. But, how do you magically know their ethnicity? Resoundingly claiming you know the origin of these shills is sort of a shill distraction tactic.

I am not the source. I am referring to the academic papers recently produced about the tracing of the shills to Russia. Interesting that you want to bother to argue this. It's not esoteric knowledge.

Sounds like obfuscation. Produce these "academic" papers for review that unquestionably prove what you're saying.

It's not that complicated. Recently developed internet research institutes track the trajectories and information between countries, and through countries, and have found that Russian, China, North Korea, etc. etc. and others are responsible for a large portion of disinformation and misinformation.

Sounds like something shill sponsors would promote as disinformation. Once again, cite undeniable proof of claim. Eagerly awaiting your shady, sketchy "studies" with ambiguous funding sources.
