That's my read on him, too - maybe a PR flack. He's got some minions, too: couple of days ago, I replied to one of his comments in this thread with a detailed refutation that stuck to the point, used no swear words, etc., and found that within an hour or so it had been removed as being "uncivil." I think I cut a little too close to the bone, and he or someone a lot like him orchestrated a pile-on for that particular comment. United will tolerate dissent, but only to a point.
