Hey folks, I've lifted some of the bans tonight, but this should serve as a very stern warning that we are not going to waste time moderating your threads when they start getting out of hand and will begin closing them. If you're just going to spend time going back and forth after one another...

Or they're intentionally letting this thread stay open as a sort of containment. But I'd like to believe it's the former.
Damn. apologies. But not really. But yes, apologies.
(fwiw, I had hit a reply to tstorm that I didn't go through with, then when I quoted the literal fascist to reply I deleted the tstorm quote but it still miss-attributed it to him. This was on a phone)

To ask questions?
Isn't that how we learn though and break echo chambers that people are trying to form?
Maybe he should have redirected her to a shrink when she became a member of Qanon. Wars can fuck people's minds up and she got really messed up apparently.
Nope.
Just asking questions
Just asking questions (also known as JAQing off, or as emojis: "🤔🤔🤔"[1]) is a way of attempting to make wild accusations acceptable (and hopefully not legally actionable) by framing them as questions rather than statements. It shifts the burden of proof to one's opponent; rather than laboriously...
Nope you wont answer them or nope you don't mind answering them?
Edit:
Ah Rational wiki I see you've added, the place that claims all MLP fans and pedos.......... I dunno how much faith I'd really put in the encyclopaedia made by people deemed to biased and using too many unverified or unreliable sources for even Wikipedia to allow them to stay as editors.
The article seems to be saying that election fraud itself QAnon conspiracy theory, which, sure it might have been forwarded by QAnon (can that be verified? Does QAnon have a twitter account or something? I don't know) but it's not the only source of the claims. There's also, y'know Trump and his lawyers and the 100+ House and Senate members agreeing that fraud happened, unless we're saying that QAnon was the source and managed to fool them all, which is unlikely.
So it seems that the NYT article is a bit inaccurate there. Let's just not uncritically believe everything the media tells us.
Oh that is true, but the first sign of her going down a very wrong path was her support of Qanon. Plenty of people believe that somehow there was a "steal" but few were determined/extreme enough to storm the capitol. Her being an extremist among extremists surely helped her making these very poor decisions which lead her to her own demise.
Looking at other articles about her, she's shown wearing a QAnon shirt, so it appears that her support of QAnon is verified.
Are you disputing that JAQ is a recognized thing, or just spouting irrelevant distractions as usual?
If you actually took that seriously yourself, you'd have saved this thread 200 pages.
Well some people believe it's a thing and use it to try and avoid answering questions that have uncomfortable answers or might force them to confront some bit of information or logic that doesn't fit with their claims.
