Mostly because FR's been trolled like this in the past. Not sure if you were around for the "Deep in the Hurtgen Forest" scam that was a big thing here on FR "back in the day" when some of FR's best and brightest (and I mean that sincerely, not sarcastically..) were taken in by it and then had their reputations trashed both on and off FR. That whole incident also reflected badly on the posters of FR and by extension, FR itself.
I personally wouldn't want to see anything like that happen again as I have a healthy amount of respect for some of the folks I'm seeing being taken in by all this. Folks that I otherwise consider to be highly intelligent and often insightful that make me think about things I otherwise may not.
That's also why I tend to NOT post on these threads as I'm not "trolling" anyone with my handful of responses just trying to inject a healthy dose of skepticism here. And believe me, I'm a VERY healthy skeptic in this "Q" stuff.
More than a little myopic to believe that this is limited to FR. It’s certainly not.
