Excellent description.
I quibble with your distinction between Q and QAnon. I think that most of us regard those as two names for the same person/group. I think that what you are calling QAnon is what most of us are just calling the anons or autists.
As for FR, I think we have MANY important features for discussing Q:
1. much tamer, vulgarity free (for the most part). I would have said “family friendly” but there are a few very serious topics that we’ve been discussing here that cannot be considered family friendly due to their disturbing nature.
2. More friendly to newbies. This is one huge reason I think we need to make great efforts to welcome newbies and be careful with our accusations of “troll”. Real trolls will become obvious eventually. Most newbies are going to be overwhelmed, dazed, confused by the stunning revelations of Q. Questioning the truth of Q is “normal” on first exposure. Let’s do our best to be kind.
3. Easier to navigate. or maybe I’m just more accustomed to it.? 8ch can be difficult to navigate, especially from board to board.

Julian Assange’s attorney Jennifer Robinson tells @ABC News that Assange has said that the source of the leaked DNC emails “was not the Russian state and he has maintained that position throughout”
oh really?...hypocrite...
I have to say it seems the anons have deliberately created the chans as a place where it is difficult for the normies to tread. Most of the Autists would be UNABLE to refrain from profanity and blunt terms for certain ethnic groups if you will. That’s why they’re Autists!
