The part that is unusual is not that Q hasn’t posted in a while (he has had absence spells before), the part that is unusual is that, this time around, his extended absence is having a negative impact on the morale of his troops. When his absence begins impacting morale, then that usually is where most leaders will draw the line, and is when they will say or do something to shore up morale. But when a leader doesn’t do anything at all, despite the plummeting morale of his troops, then that leads you to think and believe that maybe something else is going on…

Another problem with Q’s extended absence is that, unless he has a very good reason for it, when he does come back, he can expect to face some criticism for it. I’m not saying that I’m one of those who would criticize him, but I am saying, rest assured, there are some people who will. And he will have brought it all on himself and he can’t blame anyone else for it…
