I thought it was likely one person!

In regard to identifying taggers, I see what you mean about potential conflicts, especially if the mislabeling were to be applied to something that a poster was emotionally invested in.

In regard to #politics, I guess I understand, but when would instances of "general" politics occur? In articles on political theory? Also, if we get too specific with tags, then what is the point? So, let's say that #uspolitics is used. What's stopping someone from saying, "hang on a sec, that's not U.S. politics, that's Maine politics. Use the #mepolitics tag."
