“I found some peace in the Bible and in believing in Christ. To me it doesn't really matter if it's technically true. It just really helps me get through the day.”

“I never expected there to be so many mass shootings connected to 8chan.”

“Anonymity should not be taken away from everyone just because of a few bad apples.”

“Whenever there's a shooting and the details are still fuzzy, I am always worried there's gonna be an 8chan connection.”

“The rules keep getting more and more strict on 4chan even though there is no legal requirement for them to do so.”

“When 8chan came back online, it was extremely unstable. I was trying to post on it to see if it worked. And it was not working at all for me, but somehow, Q' was posting. And that was kind of the moment for me that sealed the deal If they had not already been controlling it before, they were controlling it now.”

“I believe GamerGate is at its core a positive movement that fights against obvious corruption in journalism and the tech industry.”

“If I could, I would uncreate 8chan. Of course, you know, I'm guilty to a certain extent of allowing it to go in the beginning, but I never expected it to get this far.”

“I saw the GamerGate controversy as a way to expand 8chan. I wanted to unseat 4chan and to me it didn't matter how it happened.”

“Q is whatever you want it to be.”

“Even though Q is at the moment based on Donald Trump, it is certainly possible for a significant faction to rise up that believes he was in the deep state all along and foiled the plan.”

“I looked at Gamergate very cynically. I didn't care about the ethics. And I didn't care about the women I just cared that this is bringing users to my site.”

“I don't care about media crocodile tears for pageviews.”

“Was it smart to be in a Nazi newspaper? I have no idea. Probably not.”

“If Trump loses, I think that how a lot of people are going to view it is: the deep state has won. Trump has lost. Our god, essentially, has been crucified. Trump is - for many of them - a god, and they are going to punish Democrats on the other side with political violence. That's what I see happening.”

“I have very short arms. I can't really reach down and pick things off the floor when they fall. I can't really reach up and get things out of the cupboard.”

“Most of the world genuinely believes that I was the owner of 8chan and that I could shut it down whenever I wanted.”
