Troubling Development: Babbler Advertising?

Posted by Joe Bloe on April 4, 2007, at 2:20:49

Please look into the poster by the name Lexxor. Just in the last 2 days, this poster has made all sorts of glowing claims on only Eli Lilly products and demonstrates a strong bias always in favor of continuing Eli Lilly meds, against class action lawsuits against Eli Lilly, etc., etc.:

I have no personal problem with Eli Lilly. Yet, on a website like this one that so many people trust and that is supposed to be based on real experience, I find this kind of guerrilla advertising particularly insidious. It has the potential to jeopardize trust, which in an anonymous environment, is particularly dangerous for its ability to subvert even trustworthy advice as insincere.
