One “Iverglas,” hit the site some time after, I believe, I was ceremoniously kicked off after my own six month stint there – September 3 of 2002 by none other than Skinner, the site administrator. “Iverglas” appears to hate all firearms and anyone who does not hate all firearms, and posts this:
I see no reason for thinking that this post is anything other than the astroturf effort undertaken by the online “gun rights” community to take over discussion at that site:

The original post is dated January 6, 2008, so it took a while for our grassroots to find it, but just damn!
I complained awhile ago about some of our more vocal elements sometimes being a detriment to our cause, but the comments to this post are outstanding, even given the inevitable minor errors. The entire tone is calm, logical, factual, and fierce.
Everybody who commented? Take a bow. You deserve it.
Everybody who linked? You are the difference between Joyce-funded astroturf, and the grassroots from the divots our opponents keep picking out of their teeth.
Ah, irony.
Indeed. Obviously, “Iverglas” has A) no understanding of the word “grassroots,” and B) no understanding of the word “irony.”
Because they just whacked him/her in the mouth.
Heh. How’s that divot taste, Iverglas?
