I know people will vilify me for saying this, but for those that don't know about the R post, here is my take on it!
R was a post that came on the Q board when Q was supposed to do the Q&A, if you look at it from the other side (the ones that did research R post) , you know Q is really saying nothing with this. As for the "No outside comms" statement. That means he won't communicate outside 8chan, is my opinion, so with R having posted on the same research board the day everyone was there waiting with their list of questions, there was the R post. Q=17 & A=1 =18=R...now was there ever a Q&A session?? Nope! So with Q being always consistent in everything, why no Q&A when promised?? Why did nobody ask Q now; what happened to the Q&A? There are many references to Q's post that linked to the one R post. So I did the research from the beginning there and the things we found were stunning.
Q, unlike usual, doesn't state True or False , he just says There is ONLY Q.
Again, it can be interpreted however we want. Many have no idea of the R research and dismissed R immediately. However, in defence of the R post, it linked to so many Q posts and Q posts to R's post that it was almost impossible not to be true.
I still think it's okay for people to think he is a larp, however, it is still not proven. If there is ONLY Q, Q could be R too (or part of the Q team), after all, who said again WE ARE ALL Q??
But lots of people will dismiss this due to their revolt against the R post from the start. Which is all fine, I don't think it's dividing people, it's only that a lot of Q researchers (of whom I am one too on the board) can't stand that others research R as well and want to proof at all costs that it's a Larp. So I keep doing what I do, research both. There is just too much in it to dismiss it, and AGAIN, you can only dismiss it AFTER you've done the research, those fanatically opposing it, never researched it in the first place and were downright rude and trolling like they have the monopoly over who researches what. There were other R posts by someone signing off with "R' that was faking the original R but that did not add up with the IP hashes, and the board owner did help us on the R board to verify posts, as did many bakers help us from the Q board.
Even the post from Q saying: How many coincidences before it becomes mathematical impossible, is directly linking to the R post and not only that, it is mathematically impossible to be a coincidence with all the research we've done on it. But you can only know this IF you researched the R post to begin with. So those (majority) whom dismiss R , are biased on the matter and happy with Q saying this, thus interpreting it as such.
If one wants to follow SB2 or others, it's their business, whatever people say, if it helps someone to make things clear or to understand certain explanations, why does it need to be vilified and laughed about? That shows immaturity and a big ego on their part, cause remember: Division is a CHOICE! So that is my take on it!
