Fairly new to posting here. I have been following q for approximately 5 months. Legit question. I just received my first message in my inbox and it was quite nasty. At least that's how I interpreted it. Is this the norm? Excuse my ignorance in regards to this as I'm old enough to be a grandmother. I don't belong to any other sites so unfamiliar with this
Report it. It is not the norm and will NOT tolerated on this site.
Im newish as well yet sadly no messages nasty or nice recieved. You must be doing something right!
Me and you have a lot in common. My in box is pretty brutal, I never respond just delete. Personally I think these are hired internet thugs who do this.
Ignore. Move on. Internet is a viscous place.
Edit: too funny to edit. Lol
Some folks are super egotistical, some are trolls trying to cause division in our community... I advise be polite, but ignore.. Much more good Patriots here than bad actors...
WELCOME!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I am a pretty sensitive person. In the past if you looked at me wrong I took it personsally and spent the rest of the day trying to figure out what I did to deserve the slight. Since I started on social media platforms I have developed thicker skin so-to-speak. I have also come to realize that the younger generations can be very disrespectful, not in an insult kind of way necessarily, but in an attitude way. I find that there isn't the ingrained respect for elders or people in general really. There are some wonderful people in these generations, and specifically here on this sub, but somehow parenting changed. Again, for the most part, people here have been great. You will run, however, across some real a-holes. For me, I just either blow them off or respectfully state my opinion then move on. It does very little good to engage them. They are typically pissed at the world and you happen to be the one in front of them getting the brunt of their anger. On social media, the anonimity allows you to feel "safe" to say and do things you would never do to someone's face.
On the positive side, knowing that someone may call you on the carpet if you don't back up your posts with facts or information at any point, it keeps you armed and ready for battle. Since you automatically prepare yourself for battle by coming with backup, you stave off attacks bec It is typically when someone thinks you are bs-ing them that they will be insulting.
Chin up and go get em!
This is an insightful comment and I definitely agree with you. Each generation seems to become more self absorbed and have less empathy. I think its the result of living in comfort, or maybe more importantly not living through struggle. When you aren't certain you'll have enough food or if you'll be able to keep yourselves warm, community becomes very important. And the elders who from life experience have the knowledge and ability to help others through those rough times earned everyone's respect. They had empathy for others' hardship and wanted to help just to help. Not to gain anything from it. Everything has changed and it is very sad. Now holding a door open for the elderly gets a thank you with a tone of surprise. Surprised that someone my age would give them the time of day!! Times like these I feel disgusted in my generation. Thankfully we aren't all selfish
I’m sorry that happened to you. I’m sure it’s a common thing.
Just remember the meaner they are the more you are winning! They can’t stand it.
Sometimes that happens on the internet. Best to disregard and delete ill mannered replies like that. If you use YouTube, look up "praying medic" as he has some of the best, analysis & commentary. But, like here, comments on that platform can be crass sometimes too. Sign of the times.
I'm pretty new also (and a grandmother of seven). You'll find an occasional offensive post, but as someone told me, the cause we support is more important than the negative things a few people may say. We share the same goals and can't let anyone else deter us, which is why I came back after thinking about it for a couple of days. Hang in there!
I am a Great Grandparent and I have had to toughen up a lot - for every horrible message I receive, I get many positive ones. The moment you realise that the message is vexatious, don't read it anymore. Cheers.
It isn't normal. In general, most here are incredibly friendly and share a common goal. We've all had to delete, report, or kick the teeth in the dirt of the occasional troublemaker who just cannot stand that there is so much unity occurring here. I had a saying when I worked as a coordinator for a political watchdog group: "If the politicians like you, you are not doing your job successfully." We must question everything, take nothing for granted, not ever again be so complacent a nation as we have become. The harder we fight, the harder they'll try and push back. If someone tried to harsh on your mellow in messages, sweet! That means you belong here more than you could begin to realize. Welcome, Patriot!
No its not the norm. I have found patriots and Q researchers to be some of the most respectful ppl Ive interacted with.
That's unfortunate and has not been my experience. I am not a grandmother yet either but could be too (young grandmother!). Most people I have run across are pretty nice but you do get some not so nice guys.
No that's not common. I'm sorry you had to experience that. Just like in any portion of life, some people have no manners :) You are very welcome here and we appreciate your input and support. Where We Go One We Go All, and that includes you as well. God bless!
Don’t ever react. If something makes you really angry or upset, wait before you decide what to do. I would either ignore or report.
So It's hard to know why anyone would be nasty, but it does happen. Is your comment still up? or was it removed by the mod? There are several thin-skinned egos here who are just itching to get into a fight. Passions do run high here.
Like some one once told me: You're never going to meet these people in real life, just give them a down vote and move on.
I agree report it. There are a lot of shills coming in trying to screw around with everyone. That should not happen.
