Freddy Brennan, knew before I went to read that it would be Freddy Brennan.
Watkins isn't 'Q', Freddy is still mad because he doesn't run his porn site any more.

Freddy should have stuck with being mad he was born.
No. Multiple sites can be hosted by different people on the same server.
There are ways to make a site appear to be hosted on one machine and actually not be. Various types of forwarding using tunnels, IP spoofing, PAT, NAT, hairpins and so forth. And yes you can fake icmp and traceroute responses to spoof the actual route to the server. So, yeah,I agree, not buying it.
I get a kick out of these types of A-HA articles, they make for a good laugh. Though they can snag people that do not know how it really works. Reminds me of a reporter back in the day trying to come across as authoritative saying the 120 thousand kV lines are down on the west side as we are showing....so you are saying the 120,000,000 volt lines are down?
Yes , they are meant to snag the unknowing.
It's an odd coincidence though that Q often featured pens and Jim Watkins has a big high end pen collection that he's talked about in videos.
Even if qmap.pub is hosted by Watkins, I still don't see how that would mean he is Q, just that he is trusted by Q team to host Q content.
Am I missing something in their logic that means Jim is Q?
I'm not technical enough to get into the IP discussion. I've read several takes on it and it's still somewhat foggy to me.
Otoh, the pens are something I can understand. Jim Watkins is an enthusiastic pen aficionado. It's somewhat of a coincidence that Q has posted many pics of expensive pens. [Trump uses a custom Sharpie.]
Ok I took the time to read the article and it states the same conclusion:
The "Watkins is Q" line is the latest shill attempt to discredit Q and that seems to be all it is.
The actual argument seems to be that Watkins could post as Q if he wanted to, which could be true, but then Q team would know about the fake posts pretty quickly so it's not much of an argument.
Pens also don't prove anything.
Prove anything? No.
Coincidence? Yes.
Freddy should be mad at the Dr. Frakenstein who created his dwarven body.
Yeah, that's kinda harsh. But he's a harsh vindictive fellow.
8kun runs a DoD connected IP address. 90 days of darkness when they where switching over last July ‘19. The hint got dropped that it was going to be hosted through a DoD IP address.
I think that q is Trump
There are stories and photos of Trump's customized Sharpie. It's a unique and beautiful pen, as befits POTUS.
