It's not really surprising. Also notice how most forums nowadays have a few users who seem to only join them to spread specific political agendas? Same deal. Both companies and political parties pay people to do such dirty work for them online.
Just like if you watch a WWE show and happen to catch a member of the audience having a certain reaction people will suspect they might have been a plant.
