>>I’m a 22 year veteran of FR but it’s getting harder and harder to hang out on regular threads anymore. Freepers were always ahead of the curve on news and politics but now most are so far behind they can’t even see our dust.<<

I agree. There were some good “regular” threads during the election featuring LS and a few others with on-the-ground knowledge of specific races ... but that was so two-weeks-ago.
The Q threads have many advantages:
1) Mystery
2) Optimism (at least as compared ...)
3) Great contributions based on in-depth personal research in many cases.
4) Our own Literature and media (LexiQon, Oracle, Ransom’s Intros ... others!)
5) A sense of community within the thread leading to mutual RESPECT (except the trolls).
6) A sense of larger community (((WWG1WGA)))
7) A sense of participation with POTUS
8) Imagination
9) Even a spiritual edge at times, for those to whom it matters.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I totally agree. Even though it doesn’t seem that I’ve been on FR that long I have. (Had to change names do to now having 2 computers) Some of the other threads are so depressing. Haven’t been there for weeks.
I like it here for all of the reasons mentioned above and I would like to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving.
A very happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
