This works great in "real" life, but it's so much harder to track someone down and prove a pattern of behavior because credibly *establishing identity* is *hard* when you're dealing with someone who works through sockpuppets and anonymizing services. If they can't document the problem, they can't really go after him without a willingness to commit resources to the cause, and really he's only doing this to a few people at a time. Small potatoes = low priority.
Unfortunately it's hard to collect evidence against him. He only attacks maybe 10 or so people at a time. He's never going to become a priority for the FBI or local police because they either have bigger fish to fry or don't understand how to handle him in a way that his behavior can be documented.
No, she didn't "actively participate" in those spam threads. On Kickstarter, she replied to *one* post to tell her contributors that the person spamming was a known cyberstalker who was there to harass her and to please ignore him. Please check your facts. Thank you. He's harassed me too off and on for over a decade: http://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2786853&cid=39688653
Thank you for this comment! Her stalker has also harassed me and several other people over the past 10 years. Kickstarter is small potatoes compared to some of the other things he's done, like calling and harassing employers and co-workers of some of his other victims when he figures out where they work. He'll do this until they fire his target because they can't effectively deal with the problem and lack the backbone to help. http://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2786853&cid=39688653
That "rockin' tight ass" thing is copypasta created by Jason Christopher Hughes AKA Michael Nath AKA Thylacine AKA antisense. He is her cyberstalker. No, she didn't write that. I have also been targeted by this guy, as have several other people over the past decade: http://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2786853&cid=39688653 If it weren't for Rachel posting publicly about her experiences with this guy, we wouldn't have the d0x on him we do and we wouldn't have the support we do. It's sad that all the critical thinkers of Slashdot can wind up caught in the group-think effect because of some copypasta and sockpuppet credibility.
Blame the victim? She hit the reply button and just said that he's a stalker; to please ignore him. And yes, she reported him. She addressed the problem to reassure her contributors. When did that become "feeding the trolls"?
The problem is her cyberstalker uses sockpuppet accounts to generate the perception of credibility by baiting and layering plausible narratives. He used to harass me too. http://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2786853&cid=39688653 And no, I won't post using my real account because I'm afraid of him.
I am also a victim of this guy. He harassed me off and on for years. He turned on me after I told him "no" when he asked me to do a favor for him I didn't feel comfortable doing. That was all it took to find myself on his shitlist. While we were "friends" I got to listen to him brag about all the horrible things he'd done to people, mostly women he dated, after they decided to tell him "no" or kick him out of their lives once they realized how crazy he is. He would show me how he was getting so-and-so fired from their job by spoofing emails with child pornography in them to the all@ email aliases of their employers from libraries and hacked DNS servers. He showed me how he made money selling pirated ebooks and sheet music on ebay. And he'd brag about using sockpuppets to build up fake credibility because it's all hearsay on the Internet where the credibility of consensus is only second to hard evidence.
Don't fall for this guy's sockpuppet spam. This is exactly the kind of thing he was doing on Kickstarter, and has done on Reddit, Hackernews, here, Rachel's various blogs, and yes, all the way back to the days of Livejournal being the amazing mecca of social networking.
His name is Jason Christopher Hughes AKA Michael Nath AKA Thylacine AKA antisense is over 40 years old. He's been at this game for a long, long time and has made social engineering an art form.
Most of the posts in here that look like layers of confirmation of "facts" about Rachel are all the same person posting through TOR or I2P. If Slashdot admins were to verify the IPs of most of the other posts attacking Rachel, they'll see a wall of TOR and I2P exit nodes, just as any of us who have checked out the logs of his behavior in the past have been able to see. You let this guy brainwash you into believing all his propaganda against Rachel, and you've just weaponized yourself in his favor. Please do not. Keep an open mind. Use your critical thinking skills. Do not allow the emotional shock value of the propaganda to interfere with your thinking. I know it's hard. It's especially hard because Rachel is a very reactionary individual. She has that rockstar vibe to her, and she doesn't take crap from anyone. That makes her an easy target, clearly, because anytime the "moral high ground" seems a little shaky, it's a vulnerability in her defense against her cyberstalker.
He's been stalking several of us for years. Most of us don't ever talk about him using our typical logins because he'll shit up the administration and our posts until we get banned. He's phenomenally good at turning people against his victims.
Unfortunately it's hard to collect evidence against him. He only attacks maybe 10 or so people at a time. He's never going to become a priority for the FBI or local police because they either have bigger fish to fry or don't understand how to handle him in a way that his behavior can be documented.
Making all of this public is a big push for all of us who he's been harassing for over a decade. We're tired of it. We want it to end. We need help.
Not your personal army and all that, sure, but it would be nice if we weren't alone in trying to bring this guy down.

Cops/FBI won't bother because he's small potatoes. Do you know anyone at the FBI? You should talk to them about this kind of thing.
We've filed several times with the Police in Seattle, WA, as well as the FBI. From my other post here: http://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2786853&cid=39688653

Yes, she's sometimes a drama queen, but her cyberstalker is *very* real. He's the same person who has harassed me off and on for around 10 years. I posted this earlier: http://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2786853&cid=39688653

RE: http://www.kickstarter.com/profile/machinekuntrecords According to Rachel, all of the people who didn't get a hardcopy were refunded.

This is Jason Christopher Hughes, her stalker, replying to himself with copypasta.
