I don’t follow the fairtax stuff very closely. There’s only so many hours in a day. Here’s something from LJ on a fairtax disruptor who migrated to the CoLB threads for more. LJ, if you want to proceed on hitting the abuse button and establishing trollhood with the poster, that seems to be the process. I don’t trust the process. It isn’t out in the open, too secretive, too capricious, and a person could be accused of being a troll without ever having a chance to defend herself. That doesn’t sound like the proper conservative approach. And besides, with the admin mod first kicking out “searchin” the troll for keyword abuse and then another admin mod refusing to look into the same sort of thing later on, I don’t have much confidence that trollhood would be any better handled.

lucysmom has posted exclusively, up until recently, on the Fair Tax thread/s. Someone said yesterday on the Trolling thread that there are people posting on the Fair Tax issue using Alinsky methods. Those methods are being used extensively here as well. The motives are not to help discern truth or promote discussion, the motives are to blurr and hide the truth, and foil discussion.
Using nastiness, disrespect and agressive derision as tactics, when called on this, they play the victim card and say others are calling them names.
They think no one sees their methodolgy, but they are wrong. Many people just don’t want to participate on these - my conjecture - because they don’t want the dog pack to bark at and bite them. Looks like another method to control the discussion.

There is keyword abuse on this thread, I hit abuse about it a while ago, now there are more keywords, and hoosiermama said to try hitting abuse again.
What’s the point of alerting mods to stuff like this if they don’t pay attention to it?

I checked out the individual you mentioned above once she started in on the eligibility threads, and noted that she had posted almost exclusively on the Fair Tax threads for many pp of comments. I can’t grasp that stuff so I didn’t bother to read the comments, then someone else up the this thread mentioned about the Alinsky methods on the Fair Tax threads so I put two and two together.
Another thing I’ve noted is the attempts to get Polarik to reveal his real name, etc. One person - I think the lucy person - when I said that no one knew Buckhead’s real name - said that Buckhead’s findings weren’t that great anyway, or words to that effect.
If people don’t think that Polarik’s analysis has any value unless he reveals his legal name, then their freaking opinions have no value unless they reveal their names. I’ve invited one person who trolls those threads occasionally to pony up with his personal info, if opinions are worthless without it.
