I didn't vote because I don't agree with either option. From the top layers of my logical mind (I don't have to go very deep since it's not necessary) I can tell the person being polled spend a heck of a lot of time on Bitcointalk. As I'm typing I count 12818 posts in close to 3 years. Also I did a quick random scan of the posts and they are high quality posts, well thought through. BADecker has all the time in the world to post on this forum. From my scan I can see this person has a burning passion for the cause of crypto with a love of religious topics which gradually came to the fore as time progressed from 3 years ago. This person is not an idiot, but is a bit stubborn in (religious) conviction. This however, is the mark of a truly and sincerely committed person to his faith - an unfaltering conviction.
I consider BADecker to be one of the more likely of the participants here to be a legitimate individual who is just speaking his mind. I don't always agree with him, and particularly not back in the earlier days (and I moved his direction more than the other way around) but I have never had a sense that his input is anything more than his personal preferences.
Copy that. Not a paid shill, must just be a simple idiot.
Thanks for weighing in.

Certainly there are many people who I have much bigger questions about.
A long long time ago we had a conversation about 'infiltrators' here on the board. Back then we were more interested in the potential of shills from the mainstream financial sector trying to deter Bitcoin as a monetary solution. At that time I didn't believe there was probably a significant influence along these lines. I now believe that it is quite possible that this board has become one of the 'stops' on the schedule for people who work formally as shills. This is mostly due to the general increase in interest and 'honeybadger' nature of Bitcoin itself. The board itself probably does attract a somewhat exceptional cross-section of eyeball types relative to other properties.
BTW, a 'property' is industry lingo for a chunk of cyberspace that an entity (usually a large corporation...or soon to be owned by one) has control over.
But some of them are just goofy clowns.
Thanks for helping me become famous and popular.
