This is Voat, you can say whatever you want. I'm okay with accepting the apology but I'm going to share something with you.

It didn't bother me. Why? Because I don't give you the power to control my emotions. I don't let you upset me. I don't let your words have any impact on my emotions, unless I choose to do so. If you let other people's words bother you, you're giving them control over you. Once they have, and know they have, that control, they're able to use it to their advantage.

If you're really interested in introspection, you might want to examine that in the context of Q and why it is people call you a cult member. Your group, the 'true believers' even calls themselves 'true believers.' Any critique is seen as an attack. Any deviation is called a shill. And y'all even sometimes use the word heresy to describe it.

I'm really, really confident (and yes, I've read tons of the material) that you're the victim of a hoax and you're exhibiting cult-like behaviors. Normally, I include a caveat that the individual I'm responding to may be different, but you're definitely exhibiting those behaviors.

You're very, very emotionally invested in this. That means you've lost your capacity to be objective or to think critically. I don't know when you lost that, 'cause I don't know you. I do know that it's not mentally healthy and that you could probably benefit from some sort of mental health evaluation.

I have questioned it at times but I have invested more time than you would believe in this movement. I've talked to my family about it, my friends and coworkers at great length. They all think I'm crazy now and it starts to get to you after a while. If this was a hoax do you really think this many people would fall for it? How does Q have all this inside information if he is not real?

Absolutely, I think that many people would fall for it. For starters, you're a vanishingly small percentage of the population. More people believe the moon landings were faked.

It's not hard to get the masses to believe in falsehoods.

Thinking like, "well lots of others are doing it" is not critical thinking. Nor is it justification. After all, and to use an example that's basic and easy to get, look at all the Muslims. Now, thinking about it that way, do you really believe the number of people who believe is actually a sign of truth?
