Q has already paid the price for his loyalty and honor. That's why he's doing this.
FUHHHuuuuhhhhkkkkkkkkk.
Jesus. And I say that as a devout Pagan.
Q, if this is legit - and I have no reason, having studied the matter, to believe that it is not, considering the pains taken to establish credibility - you have just pulled off THE MOST IMPRESSIVE FUCKING TAKE-DOWN IN SIGINT HISTORY.
I am legitimately in awe. The Dragon has avenged himself against those who gainsayed him. As a wizard, I have a fine appreciation for memetic mastery, and you, Sir, have just established yourself as the all-time Grandmaster of the Great Game. It's breathtaking to behold. It is sublime in its subtlety and complexity and demonstrates a divine-like mastery of the subject.
Regardless of what comes next, civil war or utopia, revolution or restoration, know that you have the respect and admiration of those who look on for the utter ballsy audacity of this play. Hat's off. Deep bow. You are the Spellmonger -In-Chief, in perpetuity, on pure technical mastery of the craft. Patriotism and passions aside, you pulled off the most amazing feat it has been my pleasure to witness in my lifetime.
