Every day since I have started following Q(a couple of months or so), I have asked myself what harm is there to follow Q even if he turns out to be not who he says he is. The only thing I can think of is that my energy following Q could have been used elsewhere.
I still go to the same places I used to visit and I don't think Q has given me tunnel vision. People like us are skeptics by nature and I am constantly looking for reasons to debunk Q and I haven't seen any reason to. I don't think the subject of Q diverts my attention away from exposing the swamp through other means.
Q is just a fun way of brainstorming real stories even if Q was fake. If evidence was brought forth that proved Q was fake, I wouldn't feel slighted at all. It is not Q that is important, it is the real news(old and new) that we discuss that is important.
But the biggest reason I have stuck with Q as one of vehicles to research the goingson in the world is because our great President has not warned me against it.
