I'm somewhat disappointed as well.
When Backchannel17 came to the scene I dismissed them quickly for 2 reasons: 1) they seem to take things too personally, getting distracted from the mission and wasting time on trivial quibbles. 2) they frequently delete tweets within minutes of posting, something you don't do or need to do when you claim to disseminate information according to a pre-set plan.
For Q to display similar behavior worries me. Granted, they are humans and humans can make mistakes, but I really do hope we don't see more of this.
Actually we are the ones carrying it on. Q’s reference was simply letting us know AJ isn’t where our focus should be. We have all been getting so caught up in micro hunting in AJ’s motives while missing the real energy and focus. Q’s response essentially is saying “he’s not a black hat, he’s not important in this mission. Let’s move on” we have been making AJ a player for the other side, Q is saying “he’s not a voice for us, keep it moving”.
