...but your wonderful post convinced me to let the discussion be had. I actually don't know all that much about the particulars of Falun Gong. I think your assessment is about right that Falun Gong is a mash-up "about as appetizing as KFC to a vegan."

I would suspect that the poster is a either an official PRC troll or an affiliate. I've had them in a number of my threads on Tibet and they were here in great numbers during the 2008 Olympics. The PRC really does have a legion of internet trolls that are mostly focused on the Chinese internet behind the Great Firewall, but that they would have a dedicated English language is not surprising.

They think that they can use the internet as a political tool, what they do not understand is that you cannot control the thoughts of people in the modern era. The reception they are getting here is not ant-Falun Gong as perhaps expected, but religious tolerance and regret for authoritarianism.
