Fair question. Yes I responded calling some flat earthers which was wrong. I got thunked for it. Regardless that is was in response to being called a stream of vile names.
I never said add those accusations, I merely asked do you condemn them. It is quite common especially on Q threads
I have been called among other things; Mengele, murderer (complete with intentionally killing patients), and been told I commit crimes against humanity for which I should hang from a yard arm.
The division that Q theorists create is that it is clear they attack those who do not agree with them, not in terms of debate, but over the top statements. Look back in recent threads - they even create lists of members to be harassed. That is a little chilling.
The overall volume of hyperbole is one thing, the absolute commitment to destruction of those who disagree is why we have a burr on our saddle
I appreciate your questions and discussion. We can disagree humanely. It seems that Q threads depart from kindness and humanity.
Then that’s why I haven’t seen it. If you go on the Q threads, you might notice that I’m not there. I respect the Q crowd’s right to their views and even agree with them on a few things, but I don’t subscribe to the overall platform. In fact, as much as I respect President Trump, I cringed at some of the posts stating that he was going to be back in office by April of 2021 or whatever, and I’m not a fan of Sydney Powell or Michael Flynn. (A couple of the Q folks don’t like me because of that, but , oh well. My opinion is my opinion.)

Well, I’ve said similar things about Anthony Fauci but never about a fellow FReeper, no matter how much one might tick me off.

But I’ve seen members of the shot enthusiasts do that as well. One who has been posting on this very thread has come out several times with comments about what he has on people and how he wants them removed. On a whimsical thread about what people would do if they won that giant Mega Millions jackpot a couple of weeks ago, that guy said he’d “buy Free Republic and ban a lot of people.” He really wants a left-leaning echo chamber and gets quite wee-wee’d up about people posting opposing views.
It does work both ways.
