And a description of their loony tunes:

QAnon could be described as one of the most far-fetched conspiracy theories in modern history. It argues that a group of Satanic paedophiles, mostly made up of Democrats and Democrat-supporting celebrities, is running a global child-trafficking ring – and that Trump is using the power of the US government to fight them.


Lummy. And I thought Answerbank was bad.

I doubt it,allen.Saying you support QAnon on here would be the same thing as saying you support Magic Grandad on here.You would be laughed off the site.

I had no idea what the means, and I am sure I am not alone, but to save anyone else the trouble, I have Googled it, and it appears to be short for - Mad as a box of frogs.

It is utterly potty. But a majority of Republicans in the USA believe it. That's the level of mad you have to be in order to back Trump.

As I have said many times - the downside of the internet is that everyone who has an opinion has a platform to convey it to the world.

The problem occurs with the fact that not everyone's opinion is worth sharing.

I think it is a bit worse than that andy.

Qanon was a conspiracy maliciously spread on message-boards in order to hijack the information-sharing power of the internet. And because Trumpkins have a tendency to believe anything they read which confirms their prejudices, it succeeded. A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has got its socks on.

does anyone support Qanon
I do - it is a word in arabic ganoon
and means loo-er ( law ). I am not sure if it is a Latin load word ( Yeeeees!) like qalm ( calamus scriptorius - writing pen / reed ) and sigilla - our word seal at the end of a doct - and used to describe the inanimate objects that the p changed to to birds and turned against his enemies/
yes

it isnt too difficult a concept for AB to allude to arabic and whether there are Latin loan words ( or calques) - is it?
oh it is, righto!

and so I support Law in America - oh my goodness yes

[Peter Pedant]

I love it when you delete all the answers and the only ones left are yours
a thread written by mods and shaped by mods

I am very keen on free speech - of course
so step forward qanners of AB !

wisconsin - the covid deniers are coming in and demanding the special essence that the CIA has prepared - why not?

[allenlondon]

How dare you mention Arabic and Latin? What do you think this is, an intellectual discussion forum?

Stick to yah boo please, so we can all understand.

[Peter Pedant]

sir I was only saying ....

( for which the arabic is ma kalem-toosh ) - Latin - quid agit tibi domine
not quite but fits ....

[Peter Pedant]

or whether qanon - gives us canon - as in canon law

or they rose independently at different times ( digetty dimorphism or something)

For absolutely the final time - Moderators, including myself, delete posts and threads that contravene Site Rules, and for no other reason.

There is no 'shaping' of threads as you put it, and I am tired of explaining this every few weeks.

If you are not happy with the moderation - and you, like everyone else, has no idea who deletes posts or threads, so you can stop your inferences that it is me all the time - you can contact the Editor.

I shall regard any further mention of this subject as simple trolling, and ignore it, so please commit this post to memory and save cluttering up the site with this pointless foolery.

Thank you.

I am afraid it is, as I have pointed out, a downside of the internet that every numpty with a keyboard has access to the world, which is not a good thing.

The freedom if the Net is also its curse, and we have to enjoy one, and endure the other - including on this site, and even on this thread!
