Yes, it’s important to understand that the garbage on the site is due to a) it’s automated traffic generated to make the site unsavory to the public and 2) due to the fact that if you are going to have free speech you have to allow distasteful speech as well. It does make it difficult for the more sensitive to lurk there. I, for one, think it’s funny. Their invective makes me giggle. Literally.
I’m with you both. I have fun there and can filter out the crap. I love the rawness of the information and patriotism. It re minds me of the Revolution tavern meetings. But there’s a lot of stuff to scroll past on the site that more genteel FReepers may not want to indulge themselves with.

ichabod1...I totally agree with your 8chan assessment.
I get into fits of giggles and have learned to ignore the shills and gross posts. I have posted a few times, but the speed at which the thread gets to 751 posts makes it a challenge.
A few times I have gotten replies and follow up questions and that kinda makes my heart palpatate, but I have survived.
Free speech thrives there and that is the point.
The work the autists/anons have done to post, explain, explore, dig, meme and catalog all things Q is terribly important to this great awakening and downright amazing. I hope they are recognized in some meaningful way.
