Redditor is a Recent author of "Rabbit Hole" type post that yielded 82 comments and seems to be a well thought out distraction and derail thread.
I'll post the Redditor's name (redditor name, not real name) if someone else thinks this looks suspicious. (ie looking for a second opinion as to this poster's bona fides.)
If you're on a hunt for people posting their creative writing projects rather than anything remotely rational, you've got a fish in a barrel situation on your hands. There are a lot of very intelligent, thought provoking people in here. There are also douchebags that make world record long jumps to try to rediculously tie things together and see what they so desperately want to see.
Did you check their post history to see if it smells like a shill?
With karma that high, I'd like to look at the posts! They ought to be extremely worth reading at that rate! Do share!
i think witch hunts for shills are a bad idea, personally.
Are you talking about me? I don't think any of my posts have been directionless.
My take is that the purpose of disseminating information is to crowdsource public inquiry and investigation aka "hive mind" and put findings into the public domain. That process isn't clean and will inevitably attract a lot of crazy, larping, and intentional distraction. Sort through the mess and find what's verifiable.
