Although the term "concern troll" originated in discussions of online behavior, it now sees increasing use to describe similar behaviors that take place offline. For example, James Wolcott of Vanity Fair accused a conservative New York Daily News columnist of "concern troll" behavior in his efforts to downplay the Mark Foley scandal. Wolcott links what he calls concern trolls to what Saul Alinsky calls "Do-Nothings", giving a long quote from Alinsky on the Do-Nothings' method and effects:
These Do-Nothings profess a commitment to social change for ideals of justice, equality, and opportunity, and then abstain from and discourage all effective action for change. They are known by their brand, 'I agree with your ends but not your means'.[41]

Look America is now 18 trillion dollars in debt.
Both political parties, are supporting exporting ever-more American jobs, while the number of unemployed Americans continues every higher.
Currently somewhere around 93,000,000 Americans, are unemployed.
Just one generation ago, America led the world in almost every regard,
Bring back American jobs.

if he mailed or even emailed a copy of every article that upsets him to his elected representatives AND the mutt in the white hut while stating his complaints i would say good on him... but to simply whine to those that agree with his premise but are mature enough to know why it's not gonna happen and have explained it to him ad nauseam, it is simply spam now and will be viewed as such
