I allowed the first comment on this thread but probably should not have done so, since it goes beyond wondering about an individual’s whereabous and ventures into speculating about his actions/motivations. I realize comments to that effect were allowed months ago. Anyway, my bad. Let’s move on to other topics. Thanks.

I’m not sure why my second comment on this topic got rejected but let me try again. I think I know who John R is, and I don’t actually believe he was a paid shill. It’s just that his comments were so over-the-top partisan.

Doto, anybody with a lick of sense knows that both parties pay people to monitor and comment on the Internet.

Mr. Doto, please see the link. Certainly dated evidence but I wouldn’t go so far as saying it’s proof.

It’s a well known fact the GOP pays bloggers to troll the boards. We’ll never know for certain about John R. but I noticed that too, and it is quite the coincidence.

I believe he was a local not any “paid shill”, but I think he was so invested in Romney that he is too disgusted to come back. I mean, if he gave up blogging for Lent, he obviously took this very seriously.

You know, I wonder where the heck John R disappeared to. I suggested long before the election that he was here only as a Republican shill, possibly even a paid one. He denied it, but lo and behold, election over, John R long gone.
