There is one poster with tripcodes, and (later) one without tripcodes.
They might be the same person.
This is possibly the authentic Q, having been 'locked out'.
This is also possibly a fake/DS 'Q', trying to undermine our faith in Q - both now and in the future.
If we accept the story that Q was 'locked out', and that 'someone else' can post as Q (with the tripcode), then we won't believe any future posts from Q.
How do we resolve this? ---> Patiently.
The real Q has proved himself in the past with undeniable proofs. If he is truly 'back', he will do so again. In the meantime, be skeptical - even if the posts sound authentic.
Beware of your own confirmation bias - wait patiently for undeniable proof.
Note: I'm getting a few downvotes (without explanatory comments) on a perfectly rational post. Therefore, I may have hit a nerve.
Yup... gonna wait even longer than that. Q's back...oh wait, he's being impersonated, no it's good now, up... wait...it feels different this time...codes are wrong, maybe he's not doing the same thing as last time, it's been hacked! Here's how to tell if it's real... just fuck off. Taking a break from all the Q shit until we get some true clarity around here. Still not totally convinced it's not a psyop to keep us from yanking these motherfuckers out of their beds at night and hanging them in the public square. So, I'm just going to wait a bit. I'd suggest others zoom out too in order to gain perspective. Just perusing the list of Q related stickies today, we look like loons right now.
