I thought seductive was just suggesting the irate posters needed a mood altering pill. Telling them to relax, as it were.

That was my interpretation as well. Seductive was a silent member since July. That's a long time to lie in wait just to submit a spam.

It's not uncommon for a spammer on the Yahoo!Groups (where I moderate a few Prius lists) to sit unnoticed for a long time (usually scraping email addresses from getting the messages delivered by mail), before they start attempting to post (or more common, fill the links or files section with junk).

I figured maybe the same thing going on here... or one of the leftover spammers from the last time the site was cracked...

The site crack was well before July.

Why? Was it confirmed (through non-public communications) that he indeed was spamming, and not just commenting on the thread? The post did fit the context.

IIRC, the post was kinda on topic, but contained a link to probable spam (it was suspicious enough that I didn't follow it). This technique is used to get the targeted site better ratings on Google (essentially our Google rating contributes to the target site's rating).
