It's not a cult - but that doesn't stop some people from acting like cultists. That's not Q's fault.
Kav is a weird one for me. I see the value of having him in SC, but I will never believe that anyone in his position is as clean as some have made him out to be.
Everyone that high up is dirty - that's how they got there. More importantly - will he be working towards fixing it all. I believe he will.
