There is no difference and the only reasons all of those people have to believe what "Q" says is confirmation bias and pure desire to believe.
It's no different than how many people reacted to John Titor.
Or Barack Obama.
He was the Lightbringer that promised to deliver us Hope & Change. He was going to end the wars -- first thing -- and save millions of lives. He was going to undo the Patriot Act and restore our civil liberties.
No one did hope-porn like Obama. And the media peddled his false hope 24/7.
Is it that bad that people entertain the 'Q' thing? I understand your point about some people fixating on p gate kind of stuff...but there are so many people in the 'Q' threads that are not so fixated...some even seem completely uninterested in that.
At least 'Q' isn't running for President and isn't being peddled by the MSM.
I think it's totally appropriate to see the 'Q' stuff discussed in online forums. I trust the mods will remove anything that is defamatory. And, to be honest, I find 'Q' more believable and interesting than Obama.
Obama was dangerous because he was given real power. 'Q' is just a waste of hope, at the very worst.
For now, anyway.

Multiple times you say? Why not every time?
Please...that is fantasy.
And people are free to entertain this Q stuff, as long as they understand none of it proven and Q could be just some boob trolling the internet.
It is insulting to the intelligence that myself and others have to point out that none of this has been proven, yet are put in a position in which we have to deal with "believers" that refuse to acknowledge something so simple.
So, I guess you've studied this hard and can debunk the whole thing? Cool. Post your info because your opinion proves nothing.
I understand. This statement shows that you do not.
I'm really sorry you feel that your intelligence is insulted by a "fantasy" and that you have to deal with "believers" that don't agree with you.

Wow this is become LA LA Land nonsense, Dunning Kruger in all it's disheartening glory.
Go talk to some of the folks over in the Q thread. Some actually believe they are in contact with him and are updated on his movements around the globe, while he travels to fight against the Leftist pedo satanic cult that is trying to force globalism and # down our throats.
I can think of better words than LA LA to describe this Q junk.

When skeptics have read the threads and studied the Q posts and have an opinion NOT based in ignorance, then maybe people who disagree could have a meaningful and productive discussion about the topic. Until then, I'll just keep doing what I do.

I usually use the word "gullible". Short and cuts to the point.

I'm not trying to prove anything. I am only denying ignorance. give it a try..it can be fun sometimes.

The burden of proof (Latin: onus probandi, shorthand for Onus probandi incumbit ei qui dicit, non ei qui negat) is the obligation on a party in a dispute to provide sufficient warrant for their position.
That's EXACTLY what anyone who doesn't believe in the QAnon posts are doing.
Without evidence and the source being 100% anonymous then those claims aren't entitled to ANY logical or honest debate.
The default position to take for an anonymous source on the internet should ALWAYS be one of skepticism until proven otherwise with hard evidence.
So no, I'm not going to take the time to read any of that garbage. It doesn't deserve my attention.
