I hardly think listening to yet another puff-chested, self-proclaimed pundit braying superiority by being condescending to others is grounds for separation. It's like some here who bray that, when an anon doesn't have a 40K combined karma, they're not pulling their weight, don't deserve respect and their contrary opinions deserve at least a temporary ban. These attitudes of those who choose to behave like this towards fellow patriots just provides more insight into their personalities.

I, personally, have a variety of history-attitudes to deal with (when the shtf) from people in my circle (hopefully, finally) waking up and will deal with each of them individually. It's likely I'll be much kinder than I'm thinking of being right now to some who have been more caustic in the past. Those who were just stubborn, scared, etc who I could not reach/convince, I'll likely show loads of compassion towards and help in any way I can.

You do you. Ignore posts/comments from those you've lost respect for and continue to engage with others. The last I looked, the Q team hadn't assigned Mr. Cates as their spokesperson nor have others elected him to set rules of engagement. I read this kind of message and distill it down into "So-&-so feels strongly about this topic, but has a crappy way of communicating. His heart is probably in the right place." The my-way-or-the-highway proclamations and self-proclaimed moral superiority bravado (Mr. Cates' above missive being just one recent example) is tiresome at best, but not grounds to step away from the good conversations available on the board. IMHO. Godspeed.
