I think everyone just needs to refocus on why we are here sometimes, maybe every day.

Very GOOD advice, No_Doll_i! I hope that everyone takes a moment to let that sink in.

While almost everyone likes to have some fun, and socialize a bit with FRiends, maybe this thread isn't the place to do that to the extremes that have gone on for the past several weeks.

I think that all FReepers that participate on these Q threads, that ransomnote kindly hosts for us, should think about the many "others" that lurk on these threads (FR members and the general public), or others that can only contribute as their time permits:

- not everyone has several hours each day to page through the thread to try to keep up with the latest Q drops and the discussion focused on understanding them.
- not everyone wants to read about days long off topic conversations about personal stories, and basically everything imaginable.
- not everyone wants to find "news of the world" clogging up these threads.

FR has a lot of other threads running each day that are focused on these many other important topics (that aren't even tangentially related to Q posts). FR has a weekly Trump Family Train thread that appears to be more suited for constant chit-chat and chatter, and the random postings of Trump-related information collected from all over the public Internet.

I believe that ransomnote started these regular Q threads with a goal of providing a FRiendly, cooperative, and serious environment for FReepers to analyze, and attempt to “de-code” in context, posts made by Q. (I doubt that any of us would disagree that the "Q mission" is a serious venture that offers all of us a chance to participate (in whatever ways that we can) in helping our President take back our Country from the evil forces. And I doubt that anyone wants to deliberately disrespect and detract from that effort.)

To accomplish that, the focus was on providing a central FR collection of all “official” Q posts as they are delivered, and hosting a focused, serious discussion among FReepers designed to attempt to understand the often complex and highly encoded information that the Q team is trying to provide us.

Again, everyone likes to have a good time, and some of the wild tangents are often very entertaining, but perhaps an effort to keep them more in check will help the focus on Q posts from being overwhelmed and lost for pages at a time.

Very fine post, zzeeman.

Herding independent free thinking cats is very difficult, if not impossible. If we were followers, we wouldn't be here.

I hear you, though. Just know that SOME off topic convo is inevitable and will have to be lived with. For example, if I personally was confined to only serious Q posts, I would soon get bored and mosey on my way to find my amusements elsewhere.

I think every single person who you may think of as clogging the thread with off topic inanities brings excellent information and analysis along with their food talk, cat discussions, other strange topics. Even pi. And I like to think I myself provide something constructive to the cause, though I may be the biggest S talker of them all.

Asking us to go straight is pert nigh impossible, you ask me. Periodic friendly reminders like yours and No Doll her's serve to at least remind us to try to keep it down a bit.

I mean, even Mussolini made the trains run on time, right?

Expand your thinking. WWG1WGA.

Finding commonalities within a group, especially because we aren’t physically together, is part of the Qomeraderie here.

Let’s not be overly systematic and bore down on Qdrops _only_, then look up and say, “it’s been decided and we’re over and done with it”. Input would plummet.

We are not INTEL specs but we are human and enjoy social interaction. Let’s not forget that we are simply observers here, given the opportunity to observe by Q/Qautists.

I enjoy the chit-chat and being able to look into the varied lives here. Jocko and Qx, No_Doll_, NIKK. They bring all sorts of variety to the table.

That’s really what FR is all about.
