You are correct, and its not just on FR, go visit other gun talk forums. They had marching orders to divide the peasants and to create dissent.
I call it the "Horatio at the bridge" strategy, from the famous Roman soldier Horatius Cocles.
All they have to do is position several defenders to spout a simple party line, like "grazing fees" and "kook" and "tortoiseForts".
The Horatios tend to be "veterans" and/or "Christians", because those types are already respected on FR. They're put in position many, many years ahead of time.
That "positioning" thingee is one of the reasons why FR gave them so much trouble in the early days. It was pretty easy to spot the disruptors.
Now, sometimes the plants go back to the time of the March.
