Shilling is a very different thing from just being biased because of a personal stake in something. Shilling is dishonesty, bias is just human. I know you’re not shilling, I’m asking if you might be biased due to a personal stake, or ideology. Are you?

But in fact your previous post asserted;

>> The whole thing is a dishonest deflection...

It seems like you’re trying to walk back your previous statement without apology or actually turning away from continued ad hominem attacks.

Call me paranoid, but this is the second time you’ve decided to cherrypick my comments and play the victim rather than just saying “nope, no personal financial or ideological stake.” I’ll ask again, do either of those apply to you?
