Wish I'd done that instead - LOL! I posted this same thing on GA.win and have been bombarded by attacks and accusations calling me a "shill"! Yet just 2 days prior, I was promoting the movie and posting an interview with Dinesh D'Souza on the board. All I was trying to do was warn people that we were all disappointed (bigly) after seeing it and spare them the wasted time and money.
But noooooooooooooooo - now I'm being accused of being a "shill" - LOL. First of all, that doesn't even make sense. "Shills" are paid to promote something, not bash something. If anything, they should have accused me of being a "shill" when I was promoting the Dinesh interview a couple days ago. What dumbasses!
People throw around "glowie" and "shill" accusations on these boards constantly without ever taking the whopping 30 seconds of time it would take to go review the person's other posts beforehand. Lazy and inflammatory of them, IMO.
Does not surprise me you got that reaction,. but that doesn't make it right.
One just never knows what's gonna set off a firestorm of attacks on posts. It's the weirdest thing what triggers people sometimes! But I'm not gonna self-censor, select topics based on what I deem a 100% 'safe' topic or walk on eggshells just to try avoid avoid triggering the assholes. :-)
I left GA.win a couple months after I joined for that very reason. You can't have a discussion with minds like that. Only cheer-leading and / or attacks. Zero free speech or the respect of free speech. If they can't tell a shill from a real person they are just like demoncrats imo. Sheep.
Good points.
Exactly. If I wanted to have arguments with people all the time, I'd have an account on Twatter and Fakebook (which I don't). The point of these Q forums (I THOUGHT) was to share and exchange info with like-minded people. That concept apparently flew out the window quite some time ago. =-O

Me either.
Crazy, I suggested an idea about a certain poster on this board spreading out his multiple postings and got flamed by many here too.
Many people want to believe in unicorns. You just can't explain to them they don't exist. When you attempt to explain any facts, cognitive dissonance sets in big time.
> "Shills" are paid to promote something, not bash something.
I am sure there are people who get paid to bash. Every single patriot who has put themselves out there has been attacked in these groups as paytriots, or whatever else these idiots can think of. People absolutely get paid for that.
Ah, okay. Well, maybe it's semantics. I think of "shills" as paid promoters (like selling a product), whereas I think of "trolls" as nay-sayer types who attack people in their comments. But that's just my perception I suppose.
You are absolutely right that the term "shill" traditionally meant somebody promoting or selling something. I guess the word has been appropriated (by me and a few others) to apply to people paid to attack someone. The main point is that they are doing it for money, working for evil individuals or organizations. A troll, on the other hand, is just an ordinary idiot who is trolling for his own reasons.
GA.win are retarded jew slaves. They'd happily let all of Apefrica into the country as long as it "was legal".
