"Since I know the e-mails aren't to discuss the merits of my posts, what big plans has the clique come up with to rid themselves of me?"

I haven't received any of the emails, so I won't speculate on their content as you have. I will state that someone who claims to be a professional in an arena of discussion who sits back and posts taunts before expressing supposed expert opinion(s) laced with personal insults, without posting actual tax code concerning such matters, is just looking for a fight. It only takes a "clique" of one to see that.

If confrontation and making adversaries of potential friends is what floats your boat, have at it. It sure isn't how I'd live my life.
