The rules of this forum dictate that participants can't make claims of astroturfing, so I won't make that claim.

On a related note, I find it interesting that your comment is being downvoted while contributing to the dialogue productively.

Inference is left as an exercise to the reader.

Wouldn't that be an example of brigading, rather than astroturfing?

Or is brigading considered a kind of astroturfing?

[RobRivera]

Depends, brigading can be organic or artifical. Artificial brigading from a campaign of controlled accts would be proper astroturfing.
