Did someone let out the two years olds again? Keep that door closed, please.

There are some people we know are evil. Hillary, Bill, Kerry, Schumer, Pelosi and Schiff, for example.A bunch of Hollywood people, like Madonna and Lady Gaga fall into this bucket.

There are some we know are good. Trump, for example. Actually, as far as politicians are concerned, Trump, and Texas governor Greg Abbott are the only ones I trust unreservedly.

Then, there are a bunch in the middle. They might be derps, good guys, or people who haven't attached to a side. Fauci and Birx are in this group. I don't trust either one, but there's a reason Trump keeps them. I'm going to reject the premise that Trump, who's smarter than me, and has great instincts, and is with them every day, doesn't recognize a derp when he sees one. That leaves two possibilities: either they're derps, and Trump's playing out a grander scheme, or they're government number crunchers who have been placed in these positions to make recommendations based on health concerns, rather than economic or logistical considerations.

A lot of people have chosen sides, and don't want to hear anything that disagrees with their conclusion. My current position on Fauci is "derp, kept in place for unknown, but well defined reasons." Not 100 on that, but it would be my vote right now.

Whenever there are sweeping, insulting attacks, there are several possibilities.

1. They like to fight on the internet.
2. The want to mess up threads and firebombing them works.
3. They can't make a decent argument.
4. They hope if they can turn the threads into mud fights, JimRob will ban all Q threads.

Possibility (4) should really concern us. Most sites where discussions can take place don't allow Q threads. Whether we're all nuts or Q is real, we KNOW there is a concerted effort, spanning multiple platforms to keep people from discussing him. FR has a good reach, and is, as a platform, one of the best ways to have a discussion.

If we really care about this movement, those of us who are legit HAVE to avoid getting in insulting slap fights with disrupters. If you get in the argument, the disrupter has won. He's not here to win an argument; he's here to cause a disruption.

I have let Ransomnote know that if that should take place I have a website where all Freeqs would be welcome to come and discuss Q.

I am not going to post it or PM it to anyone unless the Q thread gets shut down as that would be impolite to our host and I believe others have made similar offers so I will leave it up to Ransomnote to decide which offer to accept.

But your post is quite correct, it would be best if the Q thread wasn’t shut down and we can avoid that by ignoring trolls instead of fighting with them.
