I saw this in action yesterday. Someone posted a brief anti-monsanto comment on reddit and 2 minutes (literally) later there was a three paragraph reply, with maybe 10 sources linked.

https://www.reddit.com/r/law/comments/78o0zy/a_release_of_in... It was in this thread but the comments are now deleted.

I've noticed that a lot of similar comments will be deleted if you simply respond "shill". Sure, it's rude, but a real person will argue with you. A shill will delete to avoid being associated with the accusation.

I'll usually delete comments when someone calls me a shill, because anyone that throws that lazy insult around loosely is not worth discussing or arguing with.
