It's a standard debating tactic, to take your own poor behaviour or
non-credible "point" and pretend that the opposition is showing that
behaviour or making that point. Oddly, this particular tactic is rarely
listed in the "debating tactics" sites one can find on the net, and yet
it is one of the most common dishonest tricks going.

I remain convinced that something of economic worth changes hands with
our posters. Even Sn1t couldn't possibly continue what he does without
some good reason, could he?

I don't think that there's anything ad-hoc about this. I even got to
observe at least one shill start here in Cola and then move on to
Slashdot.
