I suspect the shill hunting was more about silencing opposition than actually hunting shills which putt should easily be able to do. I say fake accusations because they simply are not in a position to have proof. They are just guessing and acting like those guesses are fact.
This did result in people being gang harassed for sustained periods; downvote, insulted. Months at a time or more. ES whether a shill or not has so much drama surrounding the account that it defies reason. Shills and trolls are a fact of life on forums but it does not help to put them in the spotlight. Notice the difference in GA before and after goodbye stickies. Business gets back to usual real quick.
Precisely because the trolls had lulz the duration would extend. Look what happened when she popped back in. The same will happen again when "she" reveals herself. I just have seen zero evidence the account is what it purported to be.
