So, here's the deal. This isn't some amazing brain trust chock full of weaponized autists (though we are kind of the shit if we're being honest). We don't know everything, but better yet, we don't claim to know everything either.
I have a saying that I'm quite fond of at this point: Many will point the finger to cast others out as sheep, while blinded to the reality that they are the same, only following a different shepard.
I started this forum as a last refuge, to escape the cult-like devotion of some and the egocentric spazzing of others. I have found that, as a freethinker, and someone who is dedicated to maintaining an open mind, that many established groups easily morphed into hostile environments if the 'wrong' question was asked. I can't count how many times I, or someone else in a conversation, was accused of being a shill, or was admonished for being a willful source of disinformation. For those of those who don't believe that 'trust me' or 'trust that' or 'because reasons' is a rational directive to give, in absence of sound proof, and without question, there needed to be another option.
There are no sheep behind this wall. We revere no one. There is no one single voice here that is more important, or given more weight, than another.
We will ask questions, ANY questions felt necessary, and we will pool our collective opinions to gain insight in our effort to reach the best possible answer at the time.
A point of note, the weight of the membership roll is of no consequence. This is a small group by intent, and has been designed with that in mind. We are open to adding new members, but require that two questions be answered with your request to join, in order to be considered for membership:
1. Which Q related theory are you currently working, intend to start working on, or have already completed?
2. Do you believe there is any room for doubt when considering the legitimacy of the Q team (identity, intentions, validity, etc)?
