They dont get a free pass...**** that. They get a mirror to stare in...and ask themselves how they were so vulnerable to suggestion.
These people were ready to ruin this dudes life...in a matter of hours.
Yup, Also, fuck that Lance Turdwell guy! Hollering for his release! Lil Bitch! [Reply]

There was plenty out there at the time that in addition to his past (which we can argue about another time) painted a reasonable picture of why many on here thought he should be released.
I said it then and I'll say it again now. I was positively thrilled to be wrong. I'm pretty sure when I voted on this poll I didn't think Clark Hunt was going to use it in his evaluation.
It's rich that some of the people in this thread whose entire worldview is some part QAnon are calling others out for jumping to conclusions.
WTF is that? Has nothing to do with you jumping to conclusions in that thread not to mention getting political in the lounge.
Of course, we all know it will be overlooked just another dinner on you. Roll into town and buy some friends Mr Deep Pockets! [Reply]

Oh, so my reputation on this board is for generosity and yours is for being an old man who yells at clouds? I guess I'm okay with that. [Reply]

I don't think enough was done by the media to right the wrong that was done to his reputation.
Now this thread needs to go away and what a shameful bump.
I know it makes people feel better to blame "the media" for all of their dumb takes, but, at some point, people are going to have to learn to stand up and take responsibility for their own thoughts/stupid posts. [Reply]
My gut said to keep my mouth shut and wait for more information before commenting on this, glad I listened... but now its all over, so we should really just drop it and stop pointing fingers [Reply]

What you posted should be thread bannable based on the rules our moderators have explained for the covid thread. Who cares what your reputation is? [Reply]

Yes, that’s exactly what I was implying. I’ve been playing the long game, throwing money around for the last several years so I could eventually post political stuff in The Lounge with impunity. Your keen intellect has unmasked my true intentions. [Reply]

Like your reputation, I don’t care about your money.
I didn’t suggest you were implying anything, although if you’re now implying that the moderators should leave you alone because you’ve thrown money around, that’s a pretty bad look. [Reply]
