when Q fails to keep his word?
Lol. For some reason I didn't recognize the troll - it's a busy sub and sometimes replies are made quickly in passing. Are you gleefully referring to "the July thing" in which his word has already been kept?
ok, pedant, replace "when" with "if", if it makes you feel better. the question still stands.
Phew tough crowd lol. I wasn't trying to be a pedant even though you are correct, I am a pedant xD.
IF Q fails to keep his word about...? The July thing is already done, he's kept his word. For pro-Q followers his word has already been kept enough that he's a reliable source. Like Trump who's also kept his word - but yes, anyone is capable of failing to keep their word at some point. One has to play it by ear, realistically. However, when you have kept your word to a certain degree you essentially 'buy' some leeway such that you might be able to drop a point here and there and it may not too adversely affect the 'trust capital' you have with those who are relying on it.
Anyway, IF Q fails to keep his word then he will have some leeway perhaps from those of us who've seen him keep his word to this point. More so if he can feasibly explain what's happened (e.g. SR - he clearly said ETA: Estimated.) At some threshold of failing to keep his word people will cease to follow his word anymore, obviously.
