This has been going on for a very long time, and it doesn't take much more than a room temperature IQ to figure out you're all posting from the same playbook. Geezer sounds like groanup posts like tpaine tries to copy pigdog who strokes principled and on and on and on.
Post after post from dubious sources placed in news/activism at oh-dark-thirty on a sunday morning (when no one is looking) and then playing innocent about it.
Whining over getting caught at your collective games like a 4 year old with his hand in the cookie jar insisting "he didn't do it -- it was the dog..."
Numerous incidents of hijacking legitimate tax threads with 500 line spam posts, ignoring posts that prove you wrong, berating and belittling innocent posters who just ask a simple question.
Some of you might indeed be very smart people - too bad all your collective efforts are wasted on a fools game.
Rational people call it "Two Card Monte"
Skeptical people i enjoy. I learn from them - and the hope is we learn from each other. Flame wars prevent that. That's your goal.
And what't the conspiracy now? AG is groanup and and we have a talking points memo and a private jet too? lol
