Are you at liberty to speak of the aforementioned developments? With Gerard being banned as well, it sounds like quite the purge happened.
Sorry to disappoint, Dellery - I reference only the wonderful madness of the three-day Christmas festivities (24th, 25th, 26th) that I experienced in-between! That Vox Clamantis has banned Gerard is only indicative of how far off the deep end she has plunged.
A little birdie has told me since my ban that apparently JayneK - ever the innocent little cryptoid! - is misrepresenting me on somebody else's farewell thread, saying I went out thinking I was defending the Faith from heretics. Banned as I am, I cannot respond (she has done this before, attacking Vetus after his ban IIRC.) Lest any of you good folks on CI not wander over to SD to see what I wrote for yourselves, this is it:
The best part is that I was banned after a nearly three month absence for one day of snark. Snark primarily against the modernist shill, Scriptorium - whose heretical NO nonsense masquerading as "Catholic" thought should be enough to make anyone with a decent Sensus Catholicus vomit a little into their mouth. But taken in a broader context... in the fifteen months preceding the ban, I paid up a monthly subscription fee in the first twelve months. As I went on a kind of hiatus following the (temporary) bans of several of my friends there in late September, I suppose I happened to make that fatal mistake of neglecting to pay up for protection. And for what? Playing on the absurdity of Scriptorium's posts? Making the "Would this or that canonization make you go sede" poll in the Cornfield, which the site ownership has claimed is not even a "real" part of the forum? I should think a year's worth of donations (totaling almost $150), three years of membership AND linking people to Amazon with the FE URL code (who knows how much that profited the owner) would count for something against a day of snark - twelve posts, if I recall correctly. God love a certain physician from Mumbai who posts there
but the man literally told another user in graphic detail to snuff himself out and he is still on FE. That incident has since been purged from the Cornfield, for good reason, but for those of us who recall the incident it illustrates an awful double-standard - as this poster happens to fall in the sedeplenist line, snarks accordingly, he is permitted. But wo to the sedes! As if sedevacantist Catholics are lepers...
Searching my words, I can't come up with any triumphalist beatin'-the-heretics-type of talk, but maybe I'm missing something because I lack all those advanced degrees JayneK says she has. Then again, misrepresentation has always been a part of her MO...
All I see is the foolish mistake of donating 150ish dollars to someone who I have since discovered is not friendly to Catholic Tradition (to say the least) - a mistake I intend to confess to be on the safe side, and certainly endeavor to never repeat!
