Personal attack, there we are. Do you even know a "shill" acts as an independent observer, by definition?


What are you smoking?

Wikipedia wrote:A shill, also called a plant or a stooge, is a person who publicly helps a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with the person or organization.

Dictionary.com wrote:noun
1.
a person who poses as a customer in order to decoy others into participating, as at a gambling house, auction, confidence game, etc.
2.
a person who publicizes or praises something or someone for reasons of self-interest, personal profit, or friendship or loyalty.

A shill is not, in any way an independent observer.

Please, if you refer to wikipedia definition, at least don't stop after the first sentence:

Wikipedia wrote:A shill, also called a plant or a stooge, is a person who publicly helps a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with the person or organization.

"Shill" typically refers to someone who purposely gives onlookers the impression that they are an enthusiastic independent customer of a seller (or marketer of ideas) for whom they are secretly working. The person or group who hires the shill is using crowd psychology to encourage other onlookers or audience members to purchase the goods or services (or accept the ideas being marketed). Shills are often employed by professional marketing campaigns.
"Plant" and "stooge" more commonly refer to any person who is secretly in league with another person or organization while pretending to be neutral or actually a part of the organization he is planted in, such as a magician's audience, a political party, or an intelligence organization (see double agent).

In other words, from this definition, being a shill/plant/stooge means:
1) Being secretly in league with a part and pretend to be neutral.
2) Being enthusiastic toward a part, and pretend it reflects your own independent opinion, while you have been secretly hired or paid to play that role.
Sorry if you have other definitions for "shill". Is it interesting? Maybe yes, maybe not, maybe go f... :)
The point is you can't say to a fan he is a "shill", as long as he is not denying to be a fan, and as long as he is not a fake "fan".

Shilling
a word that can be used to substitute bulshitt

Think that sums up your posting style regarding Nos and the 'lack of bugs' stance you take :)
