I'll just say it: the Feeneyites are ruining CI for everyone else.

So three Feeneyites posting in a subforum that nearly nobody reads are ruining the whole forum for everyone.

C'mon Matto. You know they don't only post in there.

I know they don't only post there, but they usually only post about BOD in the proper sub-forum. Cantarella and Stubborn and Ladislaus also post about sedevacantism also, and this is controversial, but that has nothing to do with Feeneyism.

I think all the posters here usually abide by the rules and only post about Feeneyism in the proper sub-forum and only post about sedevacantism in the Crisis in the Church forum, and these two topics are the most controversial ones that are commonly discussed.

I can't speak for Mabel, but I don't think she was merely referring to their discussions of BOD.

That is a mischaracterization of the situation. They don't just post there and there are more than three. If any one of the persons they have driven off showed up, started posting again, say on the SSPX forum, they would be right there. It doesn't stop there either, they make constant references and drop the names of other people in a demeaning way, in threads those individuals have not been involved in. They have no problem hurting the good names of others, however, Ladislaus is the absolute worst offender. Maybe you have no problem with those things, but I do. I also find it reprehensible to treat an elderly woman, the way Myrna has been treated. Anyone who could behave that way towards someone like Myrna, even disregarding her age, must be of the worst sort.

I have noticed that people on both sides are often harsh to one another when arguing over Feeneyism and sedevacantism. I don't know how to avoid this except to ban discussion of those topics. It is Matthew's call.

I'm at a point where I would be totally fine with that. As you know, there are other Catholic forums where the discussions between sedes and non-sedes are not like this and Feeneyism isn't given a forum, so to speak.

I know there are other forums that do not allow discussion of Feeneyism, but I am not aware of other forums where sedes and non-sedes get along well without friction. Which forums are these. I would like to check them out.

Never said there was no friction. However, I rarely see the vitriol that I see here.

I haven't seen this. That kind of behavior is against forum rules. FYI, that is the kind of obsessive, disruptive behavior that causes people to get banned.

I haven't seen this either. And why didn't any of the hundreds of members report something like that to me? There must have been some witnesses in the thread. Maybe it didn't happen? Help me out here.

NOTE: contradicting someone's arguments -- especially weak ones -- is not considered "reprehensible" when done towards an elderly person.

The elderly aren't exempt from the rule that if you want to argue Sedevacantism or Feeneyism, you need to bring your thick skin and a good shield.

I only post here and on another forum that I am not allowed to name here. On the other forum, the arguments between sedes and non-sedes got so heated that the moderators had to make special rules and try to tell people how to discuss the issue reasonably.

Apparently those rules work..and sound like they are being enforced.

I have noticed that after the new rules the arguments lessened, but so did the discussion.

Then perhaps those that previously "discussed" really weren't interested in the discussion as much as the arguing.

CathInfo is CathInfo and is going to stay that way. We don't need all the forums to have the same rules -- that would be a waste of Internet bandwidth.

Sorry, but "the CathInfo ripoff forum(s) does it a different way" doesn't carry much weight with me. If anything, I'll just hold my ground and eventually they'll follow suit.
