I made this comment on JR’s thread:
Or are other posters disgruntled because there are fewer and fewer comments on other threads? That might explain the vehemence. Thread-envy.
We have a ton of fun on the Q threads, really get to express our theories, and all support our President.
One final question: Are you complaining about the Trump Train threads too?
Ooh, excellent comeback! They don't hate us because we're beautiful, they hate us cos we're smart!
Seems like the board owner does not want us here.
I donated long before I posted to the main board. I rarely go there now. Too negative.
I lurked long before I donated...
My learning curve on FR:
I noticed after the campaign that the Front Page, on FR, I thought took a hit when the Trump Train thread continued after the election. I kind of drifted off FR and spent time on other pursuits more then, and actually cleaned my sock drawer during that period. Thought it became a real snoozer for news and discussion Fewer were participating, I thought.
I never joined “that other thread”, for only one reason. After Trump won and was situated in the White House, imho, the other thread became home for the food obsessed.
Everyone it seemed spent the first three thread pages saying “Good Morning”, to each other in the AM, posted photos of their breakfast! and then saying “Good Night”, in the PM. I got a view of recipes and cook ware tips. ZZZZzzzz.
And, I got iced for bringing it up, pointing it out, saying that it might be hurting the FR Front Page, for any visitors, who would never find the thread where the great FR posters were “consumed”. Read me, there? “Consumed”.
These weren’t posting articles. They weren’t participating at all, in my opinion, in Front Page threads with comments. You get the idea. I thought it was kind of alarming for the bottom line $$, if we hoped for more sustenance.
No one gave a damn. They were staying and were approved, officially.
THEN Q! I am a conspiracy mocker of the highest order, so I came on board gingerly, clueless, tongue in cheek, but I noticed straight away that there was some crack urban DC/NYC/International background intel going on here, and I dug it.
I soon found Praying Medic to decode all that had been sounding way too truncated for me at the time, and with his help, I learned and I was hooked.
I even appointed myself as the thread’s Food Police, right off, because that food crap slide was soon to emerge, and this was no light weight thread, a thread that to my relief was sure as heck not about food, or, photos of it. Not even between Q drops, when it was slower moving.
My point is that you may be correct about the “fewer comments on other threads”. Some out there may not be into Agatha Christie mode, and they do miss us on the Front Page.
That was me at one time.
But the point is, the Q Thread is everything FR should stand for, and probably has stood for since the beginning.
“They” talk against us as if we’re craven conspiracy nuts, but since when is news, with depth and background, a “belief system”. I don’t get it.
We’re consumers of news, one place or another, but we here have been made privy to a real education, via the Socrates method of educating the listener and that teaching tool is renown, for crying out loud.
Whoever is complaining is simply not interested in research or eschews the work product required to enjoy the depth it forces upon a student interested in current events and back story. These types can’t be interested in anything that goes deeper than TV newsers, every 24 hours spooning it out.
Q is doing the job of educators and the job of our blasted media, who is trying to collapse the country. I don’t get why they want to couch their criticisms in a boogie man and a straw man, called “fear” and “conspiracy”.
They simply don’t know what they’re talking about and cranky because we DO, thanks to Q.
I have tried lots of other forums. I don't like them near as much. This is home. I like this forum. I like the people here.
Last year was a tough year. We were building and things went wrong. I found this Q thread thing and thought, hmm what is this about? I liked the Trump Train thread, but found myself to be very interested in the Q stuff. I liked the puzzles early on.
This thread carried me through the winter and I never close it, even now. I have learned so much, it is fun, it's a great bunch of people and we are not harming anyone. So what is the problem?
I appreciate most that people here are optimistic. I need that after Obama. I really do. It gives me peace. It makes me feel like we are being heard.
