I'm sure it is, but attacking fellow community members with no basis is a bannable offence. That's what you're doing, and you need to stop doing it if you want to keep posting here.

If you or anyone sees evidence of astroturfing on HN, please send it to [e-mail] so we can properly look into it (which we always do). We take the issue seriously, and it's also a serious breach of civility to casually sling these accusations at others. Two wrongs don't make a right.
