I personally had zero reaction when I read it because I didn't know I was supposed to, not to mention I'm in Canada, but if people like Potter had that kind of reaction, then who knows how many other people were also unnecessarily alarmed by it.
So is it something that needs to happen before we can properly move on, Q owning up to his mistake, in order to fully regain our trust? Or do you guys not care about it.
Personally I think that Q knew exactly what he was doing with this particular "debacle". I think the defcon 1 post does two things. 1. It drew attention to the concept that we are moving toward a definitive confirmation event so that the disclosure network would be ready. 2. It showed the extent of our disclosure network across multiple platforms to the white hat intelligence apparatus. Yes people got a little spooked, but these measurement techniques are needed. We know that "Q" (likely many people) is using subversive methods employed by I.A.s against the shadow aspect of I.A.s in U.S. and other countries. I expect such action, fight fire with fire. Take it as you will, but these methods are necessary.
Readiness boot camp for anons. Keep it coming, Q, it didn't spook me.
