    Default The 'Q' poll

    This thread is simply a poll to sample Avalon members' views about Qanon, based on a suggestion by KiwiElf here.
    1. The poll options were drafted by myself (Bill) without any consultation with anyone else.
    2. There's genuinely no intention to skew the poll by any implied inference or weighting.
    3. Please note that there was a 100 character limit to each option. My first draft of each one was far longer and more detailed (and so probably much fairer to all parties). But I had no choice but to edit each one right down to the bare bones. However, I'm still pretty sure you can all identify the main differences.
    4. I do believe the options cited, however crudely worded are representative (between them) of the collective views of the whole community.
    5. What we don't know are the proportions, and so this may be interesting. This is the only reason for the poll. The mods are unanimous that no Q threads should be closed.
    6. Please just choose one option, though some may feel that more than one may represent their personal views.
    This is not intended to be another Q discussion thread. If there are any polemical posts of any opinion at all, they may be summarily deleted.

    Okay, just check the 'psyop' option (#3). The rest of that wording continued with 'Maybe'.

    Note: again, my apologies. It was impossible because of the character limit to craft each option to be as long and detailed as they all needed to be.

    I believe that Q is someone close to Trump and Q+ is probably Trump himself. There is too many proofs of Q's connection to Trump. However, I doubt Trump's intention. Is he good or bad? Right now I am pretty convince that his intention is not good for the regular people like us. I really hope I am wrong.

    That's just how the forum software is coded, for all of us. It's not ideal, but it's also not a priority to improve this.

    I didn't chose to vote, as I don't see the point.

    I have expressed many times on the Q thread that it doesn't matter to me who or what Q is. What's important to me is the amount of information that is being shared on that thread. IMO Q has woken many up, therefore has served and is serving its purpose. Q has pushed and encouraged many to investigate on their own. Yes, Q is pro-Trump, but I believe that most participating on that thread are wise enough to be objective. Do we "want" to believe. Of course, who doesn't want the swamp to be drained. To we actually believe? Perhaps, but with fingers tightly crossed.

    Some of the vids on that thread I agree with, others I don't, some I just absorb the info to digest or send me on a quest to investigate on my own.

    Personally I believe arguing/discussing who Q is can be a waste of time, since we really don't know. We (on that thread) did all question Q in the beginning, and then those who chose to stay felt that the information coming thru the Anons and others was worth continuing to participate. We were learning & sharing.. . .and bonding. Those 3 things alone are worth participating on that thread.

    I have to admit, I was deeply disappointed in PA when I saw this thread. . . . and again I ask. What is the point.?!?!?! . ..We already have 2 opposing Q and Trump threads that are active where members can share their thoughts. I often read them as I want to stay open to the other side.

    Quite true, we don't know who or what Q is. It's all speculation and theories based on personal biases and information input. But censorship is not to even be thought of, and it's good to have this record for history and review.

    I don't have a solid view of who or what Q is but, even if Q is not closely associated with the Trump administration, they use it. There were 2 signs visible on the platform last year at a rally in Montana I believe. One said, "Where We Go One" and the other said, "We Go All". So even if it is not a WH/military psyop, which it could very well be, they are using it to their benefit.

    I agree with everything you said. I too am disappointed in this forum. The thought of people being shamed to drop a subject because some think it is stupid to even contemplate, well sounds a little narcissistic.

    There are a lot of subjects on this forum I don't agree with. I don't troll those threads looking to ridicule people who do. I just don't open those threads. Is that so not hard to do?

    What are you talking about? Just click on the number of votes (any option) and read the fine print. All the voters for each option are there.
    When you are one step ahead of the crowd, you are a genius.
    Two steps ahead, and you are deemed a crackpot.

    I didn’t vote, so this is what I see when I'm logged in.



    Whether I'm logged in or out, I can view who voted by clicking on a number.

    When you are one step ahead of the crowd, you are a genius.
    Two steps ahead, and you are deemed a crackpot.

    I have to admit, I was deeply disappointed in PA when I saw this thread. . . . and again I ask. What is the point.?!?!?! . ..
    The Honest-to-God answer is simply that I was genuinely personally curious.
    • That's all.
    • I didn't consult any of the other mods (or members) before doing this.
    • There's no agenda.
    • It wasn't to prove a point. (Any point.)
    • It wasn't to justify any action. (There won't be any. Why should there be?)
    • I had no prior idea what the voting would look like.
    • Most of the people who've voted, I had no idea what they would vote. That's been quite interesting.
    • I'd idly wondered for a while what the proportions of opinion were, and I was genuinely prompted to open a poll by KiwiElf's own suggestion here to do just that. (As I said in my post #1.)
    • Again! I was just curious.
    • Again! That's all.
    We could always start another poll to find out if this first poll was appreciated or not.

    But I'm also curious — what's so 'deeply disappointing' about a poll?

    That's a genuine question. And there's no agenda in that, either.

    I too am disappointed in this forum. The thought of people being shamed to drop a subject because some think it is stupid to even contemplate, well sounds a little narcissistic.
    No-one's being shamed — unless for some reason that's somehow real in your own mind. That's NOT the purpose of the poll.

    Please read this next sentence carefully!

    I started the poll because I didn't know what the members' opinions were

    There has been too many so called "q proofs" to ignore... it looks like the next thing they are trying to do is force the Deep state to impeach Trump, that way they have enough rope to hang themselves
