you called me a troll, so please explain what you consider to be a troll..
real simple question, without knowing what you all consider a troll, this is not a discussion board..just a “private” love-in.
Did you read your response to the infamous troll? If you haven’t then it is impossible to discuss.
Funny. I was messaged earlier and called a troll for daring to just QUESTION the “Q.” I didn’t say it was crap...I just am starting to QUESTION it all. I got called a troll....someone who has been here since 1998; someone who was calling Bush out in 2004 (and catching hell for it...BTW). But now, I’m a troll for just questioning it. Seems you can’t even have an opinion on FR any longer without being called a troll. This isn’t the FR of 1998. It’s sad. I’ve been on here for almost 20 years. Pretty sad to see how the level of discourse has deteriorated. It mirrors society.
I did not call you a troll, and I sympathize with how irritating it is to be called one when you are just trying to figure stuff and feel you are acting normally. Here is what I saw and some thoughts on it.
When you wrote this you upset people here, I suspect:
...What was happening this month? I lost the bubble on Q after he was proven fake....
when was Q proven fake? when Podesta and Hillary were supposed to be indicted, ankle monitors, and Podesta’s plane was forced down trying to leave the US ? or was it something else?
I think the first part, which you delineated with elipsis can easily be mistaken for your own comment, not a quote.
I'm not sure why you didn't use italics, which is the FR standard for quoting someone. Maybe you were on a phone where it's hard to do angle brackets. If you had it would have been obvious it wasn't you slagging off Q, but responding to someone who was.
The effect would have been quite different if formatted this way:
What was happening this month? I lost the bubble on Q after he was proven fake....
when was Q proven fake? when Podesta and Hillary were supposed to be indicted, ankle monitors, and Podesta’s plane was forced down trying to leave the US ? or was it something else?
As for your second comment: this is not a discussion board..just a “private” love-in.
I have likened it to the devotional threads, in some ways. There is a very religious aspect to Q believers, which shows up in many posts here where people are encouraged to pray. But it is also a group investigation. If you went onto the Mormon devotional thread and said: "Joseph Smith was a fraud, the book of Mormon is a forgery, and the LDS church is an abomination" then you would be trolling, and you would be asked to leave by the thread starter and the mods.
So the Q threads are not exactly like that, but they aren't exactly *not like that* either.
I was on the more skeptical end of the spectrum of people posting on these threads when I started, and as I investigated I came to see that (to me) it was obvious that Q was mostly what he said: a person or group, with current high level govt. connections, using the internet to spin up a resistance to the deep state and their nefarious plans.
Even though I've tried to very respectfully explain my positions I have had a lot of mud thrown at me. (Less lately, but still some.)
You might also compare it to election threads in terms of the passion people have. I'm sure you remember some of the epic battles that have taken place between factions like Cruz supporters and Trump supporters during primary season.
Try not to let the name-callers upset you, if you are seeking sincerely to understand then you are working within the bounds that ransomnote has defined.
It is really pointless to come on here and just say "Q is fake" over and over again. Just like it would be stupid to go on a religious thread and say "God is fake" over and over.
If you know Q is fake then I don't see why you would want to stay here, just to tell people they were all wrong, when they clearly don't care about that view.
OK, that's just my 2c from one of the resident 'bad boys' on the Qanon threads.
Also some people have a strange sense of humor here, it takes some getting used to but they are not as unwelcoming as they pretend to be. But they have a reputation to keep up now, so ...
