George,

I'm shocked! Not a peep since about 10 minutes before the report was put on? We don't know for sure, and our editor has been rightly scrupulous about presenting the facts about this, without pointing the fingers. Some people are pretty transparent in the dubious and contradictory statements they make, though.

I'm used to this kind of guerilla style astro-turf "media" strategy from the No 710 Tunnel, No BLAG, and anti-Expo Line efforts, where marginal actors try to inflate themselves using new media to appear to be more important to there opponents and more legitimate to the press, in order to press the case they are trying to make. These people are very emotional, especially those invested in an extreme position, and tend to use emotional arguments. The over the top "bird lover" in the recent Hate Smart You Tube video is pretty typical of that fixated personality . They want to be a "movement", it empowers them.

Multiple posting under psuedonym's won't bring down civilization as we know it. It's been far worse when you actually own a media outlet or have a state controlled media that can reach millions like a Hearst or worse, like a Hitler, and actually start wars. Freedom is messy, and that's why it is good. That's why it's not necessary to change much here. These people are now a bigger embarrassment to themselves from the poor cases they make with their poor arguments, and now with this kind of dumb tactic? I think that our editor is actually doing a real good job to handle it in this way.
