This points to one of the Jane Webb letter writing / Hampstead threads which we've seen a lot of here these past days. It's not blowing up on Reddit again, either.
Yeah, the shills have been pushing this Hampstead stuff hard the past few days. I noticed they pinged you...they've started pinging active respected users. I don't know if it's to give their posts credibility, to weaken the reps of legit users, or to try to further frustrate legit users when mods remove their posts. Thanks for keeping an eye on these shennanigans. :-)
Has anyone ever verified this Jane Webb person is a real person?
I think he's mentally ill. It seems like if the goal were to disrupt, there would be much more intensive spamming of a wider variety of problem-posts, as opposed to repeated spamming of nonsensical lists of the same links and themes that I quickly recognize. The mere fact that I've been able to semi-decently manage daytime modding by myself suggests he has no real goal, other than perhaps to get attention and be a nuisance.

Nope. I'm 99.999% certain it's Spamalek bullshitting.

Yeah, I am pretty convinced of that at this point, as well. Any thoughts on what he/they have to gain with this line of shilling?

Makes sense why it doesn't make sense when you put it this way, LOL.
