ransomnote: On the topic of abuse directed at me.For what it's worth, although it looks like it targets me, I don't take the abuse personally - its true target is the harmony and continuance of our thread. So personal attacks like those make me pause to see the impact on morale, thread harmony and participation, thread dilution etc. They want me to take it personally and I am happy to deprive them of what they want and focus on our mission instead. No one need worry that the abuse discourages me - far from it!
It can sound harsh when I say it, and I do NOT mean it that way, but I am not here to be liked. None of us are, really. We can't stand to remain on the sidelines in this war between Good and Evil. No amount of insults can confuse me as to my purpose, priorities, peeps and prayers. :D
We're closing in on 500 combined threads and still committed. I just posted a thread in the forum re 'vaccines' and someone still posts in the keywords 'Qtard' like that is some kind of weaponry we can't bear, after 5+ years of the same.
We are finally seeing exposures of crimes we've been reading about in Q drops for years. All of this is more than just encouraging.
As long as God wills it, I will continue. Bags and I used to say that we would still post if we were the only two left on the thread. I couldn't stand to just watch this happen - posting and interacting with youze guys engages me and my prayers in a positive way. I don't know how peeps, particularly offline, maintain their optimism and morale under a constant rain of MSM propaganda. There must be such despair. However, in response, there is much God and much of His servant, Donald J Trump! :D
Lately I think I perceive a shift in the trolling. In the forum some of the attacks are increasingly rote, and offer low hanging fruit with many trolls make comments so easily refuted that I believe they are bait to drive the topic this way or that. When it's ridiculous, I wonder what thread topic they are distracting me from and re-evaluate/prioritize in order to focus. In general, I think the attacks are now meant to keep us off 'the' most important topics by stirring the pot on lesser details and controversies. Name calling and personal insults are sometimes all that is offered. Now there's a focus on little social kicks in the shins that contribute nothing but are meant to drift thread attention and drive resentment at a time we have so much to be grateful for.
I increasingly withdraw from engaging waste-of-time trolls because they are rehashing content from 2 -3 years ago with obsolete talking points; they MUST want the heat off hot topics like crimes involving Biden, Obama, Clinton, Ukraine, trafficking and the 2020 election.
I'm still surprised and grateful to regularly receive an embarrassment of riches in the form of excessive praise and warm encouragement from very kind hearts (email); it's an unanticipated blessing to share this thread with you.
ThankQ!
All praise to God and the way He leads, protects, guides, strengthens and blesses us again and again. GOD WINS!
Prayers up!
You Rock RN! so ROCK ON!

Well said, RN.
And how do we stay generally happy?
The little wins help. And in my discussion with the cheese department girl at the Publix store yesterday, something simple was mentioned. She said - for every bad thing, there are 5 good things. Then she went on to say, you’re alive, you can afford the food in your cart (buggy), you’re smiling, you’re moving around freely, you have a home.
Simple things, but simple positive things. So taking her point of view, when you see something wrong, and we see plenty wrong, think of 5 things that are right. Doesn’t make the wrong less wrong, but it certainly adds some balance. Enough to carry on for another day.
And like RN says, God wins in the end.
