Thank you for the kind words, bagster.
It is not easy spearheading a major thread initiative! And participants in any kind of topic which is challenging to the psyche or status quo receiving flak are so very important in carrying on in the face of opposition.
I’ve been very pleased with our Q spearheads who post threads, and the group who drop in - even some of the ones who find the topic of Q-realted issues offensive. The majority of those who are FReepers tend truly to be patriots - even if there is not a meeting of minds in all things.
I find a use for the honest skeptics. They can be used to bounce our theories off of, to hone our arguments, and help us arrive at the truth.
There are some of those. It takes a while to identify the non helpful bashers. Once identified they can be dismissed by ridicule and mockery. Like they try to do to us.
I try to use the honest skeptics as a tool to better understand the overall picture while attempting to convince them and getting them on the team.
I recommend we all use that strategy. We can use all the brain power we can get. Especially me, I'm not the smartest fella in the room by a long shot. Though I do have a certain skill set.
We all have our different skill sets and knowledge bases. Together we are mighty.
Excellent points.
