Anti-Fungal's been a solid soldier here for a long time. He's feeling a bit justifiably butt-hurt right now. And he does express a valid difference of opinion on how shills should be handled.
Cut him some slack.
At the same time, I favor the low ban policy.
I wasn't replying to Leaf if that's who you are calling the shill. The anon I replied to has on ly three posts this bread, all of them reasonable.

Not necessarily. If the Calm period is endind and the Storm is beginning, we could be seeing the administration shift to a much more aggressive stance. If the investigations are winding down now, Pruitt as AAG would probably start the prosecutions we've been screaming for.
Just my thoughts.
I've been saying for a while that the Notables might not be such a great idea. They make us lazy. Also, I think they dim the hive mind.
I try to resist the urge, but if I read an interesting post that does not make it into the Notables, I tend to forget it pretty quick.
In the absence of Notables I'd probably be more likely to dig a bit and add to the idea in a later bread.
In other words, the very existence of the Notables might be skewing our research, hiding good but poorly written ideas from us and promoting splashy but unimportant stuff.
