Probably neither, but please don't break the site guidelines like you did there.

"Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and we'll look at the data."

In a case like this thread it's pretty trivial to answer the question yourself, actually, by looking at the posting histories of the commenters.
