Hey
Bill, come to think of it, it seems you're starting to sound more & more like the
MSM (Main Stream Media). Why stop at the term
'cult' or
'cultists'. Perhaps you would just like to call us just a bunch of
'deplorables', and be done with it.... Oh yeah, I forget, somebody has already used that one. Ahhhh, but that would be showing colors - political colors - Its better not go so far, eh?
I suppose that you would really rather not have the
PA forum to be seen as taking on any one side of the political spectrum. And I can't blame you for that. Its better off to be an open forum, as middle-of-the-road forum as possible, isn't that correct (as in 'politically'
)? As,
Kiwi has pointed out, as popular as this particular thread has been, (number of hits / time period), it has been noted that this particular thread has
never been shown to be listed in the category of
Most Viewed (last 30 days) threads.
That in itself could be a political indicator of sorts, imo.
Just saying....
I'm calling you out on this. You might want to edit your post to make your points in a rather more friendly and pleasant way.
If you don't know me by now, you never will do. And you should, by now, too. You (and you're not the only one) seem to have lost quite some balance.
- Passion is commendable. It gets things done, and encourages creative expression that can motivate and educate others, and bring about change in a world that needs it.
- Being snide and unpleasant achieves nothing except alienation and division. You, and a few others, are in danger of causing some other members, who don't really want to post here for fear or being ridiculed, not to like you very much. Do think about that.
I have a right, as a member, to state my view that the Q phenomenon is a kind of cult. I stand by that. It meets many of the criteria. We can start a new thread about this... if you like. My point, which I've now made a small handful of times in 6 months, was argued concisely, with just a few bulletpoints, and I believe not disrespectfully.
If I get to be wrong, and positive things come out of this that are demonstrable, then I'll say so. But, remember: you may be wrong, too.
Your rather barbed remark about the most viewed threads list was also beneath you and 100% uncalled for. I have no knowledge about that, I never refer to that, the mods have no control over that, and even
Ilie Pandia (who is a world-class vBulletin expert) can't edit the forum software that generates it. You're implying some kind of covert control over the stats. Please apologize and take that remark back.
There are existing threads that discuss the anomalies in the forum's search scripts.
Paul can say more about that (he's far better qualified than I am, as a software developer of some considerable experience ability). Ilie would, too, if he was here.

We're just weathering a bit of turbulence on our journey (and we're all on the same journey). We've come a long way in this thread, with countless hours of research spread out amongst us.
