One of the main purposes of these kinds of trolls is to stop the discussion, make it all about “THEM” to drive people away from reading the actual topic discussion, and maybe even get so much contention going that people get banned, or the thread shut down.

The best way, or only way, to stop this is to STOP REPLYING TO THOSE WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE IS TO DISRUPT THE THREAD.

If NO ONE REPLIES TO THEM they will eventually stop.

True enough. But it will take all of us putting them 100% on ignore. And their initial response may be worse.

I tried that. And suggested that. But when 30+ posts out of 50 is fantasywriter, Strac6, etc. I give up. When they hit the threads at post #3 it’s obvious they have an agenda to shut down the discussion.

I don’t know if they are deep state or pedophiles or just paid by them but they devote an enormous amount of time and energy to insuring that no one on FR learns anything about Q.

Q is a topic that I am very interested in and have been following since last October. I don’t have an unlimited amount of time though, and I can read his posts and see discussion on other boards and donate there where I don’t have to try to slog through all the harassment.

Dealing with reading 8chan is easier than dealing with these guys and their personal insults.

Here is a story. Some years ago there was a theory which was presented as proven fact. The *facts* claimed by the theory were that Malcolm X and Valerie Saruff are Obama’s biological parents.

MalVal, as it was called, had a small but passionate—and extraordinarily vicious—set of believers. Since they had no actual facts on which to base their claims, their MO was a simple one: attack and attempt to destroy anyone who posed logical and/or factual questions about MalVal.

The pack-mob style attacks that resulted were very effective. The MalValers succeeded in driving any and all opposition off their threads; they created a de facto Caucus.

After that MalVal died. There was no point to it. With no facts or evidence they could never prove their case, and with no more dissenters to beat the snot out of they lost their purpose for existing.

The Q-believers must imagine this will never happen to them. They have lots of facts and evidence, and new Q drops are coming all the time.

But it will happen. Theories like this only thrive when they’re beating the living daylights out of dissenters. As soon as they ‘win,’ attrition sets in. Their goal and purpose get fuzzier and fuzzier. To quote a phrase, the thrill is gone.
