Hi, everyone. I'm a former member, known as Jazzy. I stopped posting because my ego was beginning to outweigh the general interests of this community. (I used to be a werewolf, but I'm much better now-oooooo.) My family and I are doing fine on Tenerife, the lockdown hardly affects old hermits whose friends are mostly dead already. I still swim in the ocean except when it gets below 20 deg C. My only ambition left (Elon Musk took all the others) is to make an electric scooter with very fat tyres which will climb this volcano, which, as you can see in this photo, looks sensational. Cheers.This thread is for any first time poster to (optionally) post an introductory "hi everyone" post, which will also get you "verified" (meaning you can post without anti-spam restrictions) once it has been approved.

Hi! I'm new to the group. I found my way here researching Qanon bc my sister is down that rabbit hole. Her behavior is unusual and concerning so I'm trying to get informed. I read a Psychology Today article (in 3 parts) that named this site as a good source for debunking Qanon claims.

"A Skeptical Call To Arms
I am deeply concerned by the direction that Donald Trump is taking the country with his refusal to admit his clear defeat and his promotion of disinformation regarding election fraud. I am taking action.
While Trump's claims have been largely rebutted by bipartisan election officials, and his lawsuits are being rejected by a bipartisan judiciary, millions of people believe in his incendiary Tweets claiming victory and alleging widespread evidence of interference in the election.
It seems probable that he will leave the Whitehouse on January 20th, 2021, but he is not going quietly, and the damage that his rhetoric is both causing and enabling will last for many years, perhaps decades to come."

Hi! I’m new too and I’m also here looking for support and resources to help a loved one. Nice to meet you!Hi! I'm new to the group. I found my way here researching Qanon bc my sister is down that rabbit hole. Her behavior is unusual and concerning so I'm trying to get informed. I read a Psychology Today article (in 3 parts) that named this site as a good source for debunking Qanon claims. Thanks!
Hi! I’m here for more or less the same reason. How are things going for you and your husband?Hi there!
I'm reading Mick's excellent book and am trying to help my husband who is deeply entrenched down the rabbit hole. This seems to be a great site and I'm looking forward to gleaning some good debunking information and skills.
Hi, in new here but this is also happening at my house. I know it’s felt very isolating for me, maybe it has for you too. I just wanted to reach out and say hi.Hi all,
I found my way here from Mick's book, which I read because my girlfriend is pretty deeply embedded in conspiracy theories (thankfully not QAnon). I can already tell there are lots of useful resources here. I'm sad and angry that charlatans have taken advantage of her genuine concern for making the world a better place for all people. As I'm sure many here have experienced, I feel hopeless (and helpless) because any source of factual information is deemed part of the "corporate media" or otherwise clearly a dupe of the oligarchs. It's good, although also a bit sad, to see there's a community of folks in similar situations.
Hi! I came because of the same thing. For me, the person is my husband. If you ever need to talk to someone who is also going through this, please feel free to reach out. For me this has been really isolating and maybe it feels that way to you to.Hi there, completely new to this group. I joined because I have a loved one who has completely gone down the rabbit hole and has changed from a compassionate, kind and loving person into a paranoid and obsessed Q believer. I need help.
