Everybody has a strong feeling about Austin. As soon as his name/image comes up, name-calling and mockery ensue. Here's my guess: When someone doth protest too vehemently, "Austin is NOT Q!!!" there's grounds for investigation. That seems like a Q-project plan. Shills and Anti-Shills (both necessary) force anons to go figure it out for themselves - Qplan? Even the notice at the top of every bread reminding you "don't reply to shills" brings attention to shills and anti-shills. I think this is the intended purpose of Q-project. The fact there's so much buzz (both ways) around Austin keeps him in my consideration.
I can say this: what I've heard from Austin has not been anti-Q. Maybe all of us should Spartacus Up and start claiming we're all Q. It's not a bad example.
My verdict is out on Austin, Trump, and most everyone else until whatever Habbens actually Habbens.
Oh, Except Sally. Sally Red-Text is a blessing to the boards, please don't ever Quit. Having someone who hates you constantly assaulting anything you say is valuable if you want to grow.
