The Q creators remind me of a client we once represented back in the 70s in his business dealings with multiple small newspaper chains.

He wrote horoscopes under 7 different names, “Madam Insightia,” “Mr. Mystivo,” “Doctor B. Yond,” etc. Each day, he would randomly select a “prediction” or advice for each of the 12 astrology months, Capricorn, Sagittarius, etc, for each of his non-existent “board-certified astrologers”.

A typical prediction might be “Someone from your past will influence your life today. How it effects you will depend on how you react to it”, or “There will be great danger you may not even realize this afternoon. Guard against it!”

They all came from a book he had prepared containing more than 14,500 useless “predictions” he had gathered by copying them from all the old newspapers held by the Library of Congress!

It was a hoot, and he made a lot of money!!!

Except Q isn’t making money off of any of this.

Read Q or don’t, if nothing else it’s entertaining

Did you make it your life's mission to call him a pimply-faced 14 year old and every other pejorative you could think up at the time, or did you leave him alone? If not, why not?

What's it to you if people are fascinated with this Q thing? It's not as if it's the first online guru who may or may not be what he claims to be, and he won't be the last.

If you're going to continue obsessively pounding away at this, the least you could do is coin a name for Q followers, you know, like "birthers" was so effective in sliming people who though Obama was ineligible for the Presidency. That was a good one, like Birchers, very sticky, very diminishing.

Come on now, rise to the occasion. Effective ridicule requires creativity, and creativity has been thus far lacking in your efforts.
