There is no chance that this is related to the organization. That is possibly the least professional hack job of all time. I mean, if it came from the team it would have to be from a brand new intern or something...
There is just no way that professional hire would OK something as pathetically obvious as that. It looks like the work of an 11 year old
And now someone is creating burner accounts to attack The Citizen on Twitter.
Haven't seen a number of our favorite posters in a while . . .
At face value you'd think so, but then the Colangelo thing happens and you are forced to re-evaluate your expectations.
Well you do have vast experience in running a misinformation campaign, so I do respect your opinion.There is no chance that this is related to the organization.

Oh man, every time I get a glimpse of Twitter on here it makes me shudder, what trash. Except for the Vids that SOA posts, those are great, ha!
Professional? We're talking about Eugene Melnyk and the Ottawa Senators here, so it wouldn't be a shock to see amateur hour continue.True, but it wasn't exactly amateur hour with him, like this stuff. This is more like the fake accounts that were pinned on Caryk than a professional entity making fake accounts.

Explain the Boro video, if you feel this owner operates on a "professional" level.Yes it really would be.
EM is not in his basement on twitter making multiple accounts. The PR professional did not counsel an employee to make a bunch of cheesy fake twitter accounts posting the same message as teenaged girls. That smacks of some dweeb who is mixing searching for pictures of young hotties with his defence of the team in twitterverse.
The team could afford to pay 5-10 people to actually post things, or as others have alluded, spent money on brining bloggers into the fold so that the message starts to change a bit from the 'top'.
Yes it really would be.

It was someone likely hired by Melnyk. There's loads of troll farms and bot nets out there to hire for cheap. People do this social media influencing professionally. We've felt their pressence even on HF boards.Yes it really would be.

I agree with you in that it smacks of amateur. However, the issue was dead to everyone except the senators who seemed hell bent on getting that video removed. Average fans were already moving on. The duchene apology was sufficient for me and many others. It was done. So, teenager in the basement with a sole purpose of supporting a legal position of the team, not very likely.
Its someone with a vested interest. Your comment about having some connection to the whole Caryk affair, was, IMHO, quite plausible. I always believed a third party was involved trying to stir it up for some unknown reason.
Explain the Boro video...On behalf of the players and coach involved, it is a good thing that the team is trying to get the video off OC, rather than trying to ignore it so it goes away. These are actually people, and employees, that are being negatively affected. Personally I applaud the message that the team is sending the players and coach, and I would imagine that it is appreciated.
As far as Twitter, the legal challenge would not be affected in the slightest by twitter posts, especially childish ones that are clearly from fake accounts. Vested interest doesn't mean the team, especially in twitter land. People in the safety of their homes with bones to pick can do strange things on the internet.
The organization being behind this would be far down on the weird and unnecessary end of the spectrum for sure. There is absolutely zero benefit to the team to do this, not on twitter, and not in the court of anyone's opinions, and there is a colossal amount to lose by being involved in something like this.
Occam's razor applies here.
I hope all you HF posters in Melnyk's pocket can bill overtime this weekend. You're gonna need it.

What is shitty is having to read your word wall misinformation postsThese are ****ty posts dude, stick to the funny stuff it suits you better.
Explain the Boro video...
Please rate the level of professionalism of the Boro video on a scale of 1-10.A very poor PR attempt to try & save some STH from jumping ship.

And then ask yourself if the morom that concieved, made and then approved this idea would be capable of choosing to hire a troll farm.
Could it be someone else? Absolutely.
But suggesting that Melnyk wouldn't make decision this moronic is not based on historical precedent.

Ok, thanks Eugene
Lets not pretend this isn't plausible. Even Dorion admitted to being on social media, "until they figured out who i was."Yes it really would be.
