Title: Poche is banned
Post by: Matthew on October 05, 2020, 03:54:20 PM
I was trying to be fair, but I believe in this case a "good reason" goes beyond individual rules kept or broken. In certain cases, an individual might stay on the good side of every rule, while annoying members, flirting with heterodoxy, and in general being a bane to the forum, while remaining within the bounds of all the forum rules.

I can't deny that many people have called for Poche's banning over the years.

I've always tried to be objective, listening to complaints and reports of actual rule violations, trying to be fair to all sides. I also considered Poche to be harmless, although I admit I don't participate in *every* thread and conversation on the forum (at this point, that would be near-impossible on a forum as active as CathInfo.)

Therefore I've been stubborn *on principle* about this up till now. The forum has rules, and I'm always willing to enforce them. But sometimes you need someone that sees and understands the big picture, not just a piece of software that runs a script "Yes/No" against a set of rules, and renders a cold, lifeless verdict which can often be far off the mark.

But I can't do it, guys. I can't be Fr. Pfeiffer living in his own fantasy world, stubbornly hanging on to a rogue like Pablo. I can't do it now, nor will I ever. I can't exist in such a mental fantasy land, divorced from reality. When reality rears its head, despite what path I've taken up till now, I have to be willing to change my course (if not my mind).

Ladislaus makes a good case. I read it, considered it, and when taken as a whole, I now see Poche in a different light. I have to take Ladislaus' word for it with regards to some of the points he brought up (which I haven't seen or experienced personally) but I have no reason to doubt Lad's veracity.

Once I saw where this was going (i.e., that it's time for a new course on poche), I jumped right to this course of action, because you know what? I don't have time for games. I'm a busy man. I need to have this poche thing behind me. So I'm skipping a lot of back-and-forth, drama, discussion, etc. and just jumping right to the end.

And I'm a practical man. It IS a bit crazy, even if I'm standing on principles, to watch many good Traditional Catholic members go out the exit door, leaving me here with Poche. I don't even like him personally. I don't have Conciliar Novus Ordo even in my past or my family. So there's no soft spot there. It was only my principles which kept him here. I thought he was a good example of what we are fighting against. But I only kept him here because I thought he was harmless, convincing no one. I'm still not entirely sure that he's really a CIA or Illuminati plant to subvert and destroy Tradition. But he is just *too* unpopular and disruptive, even for a token member. I can't have him damage the forum -- by his presence, and by chasing the best members away.

That having been said, I have to address the elephant in the room.

Cathinfo members, this is your ONE freebie. I'll ban Poche for you. But don't be gettin' any idears! I'm still against lynchings of CathInfo members, especially those going back years. Don't even THINK to yourself "who's the 2nd worst member here, after poche..."

You'll find me as stubborn and unyielding as ever. I'm banning Poche. But your next request(s) will likely fall on deaf ears. I'm warning you now.

So Ladislaus, don't be getting a big head, and the rest of you, don't be gettin' any idears.

And all of you, have a great day.

P.S.
It was brought to my attention that Poche was "in the right" in the RBG kerfuffle. All he reportedly said was, "May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace." That is completely Catholic. Such a Catholic formula does NOT imply that RBG is part of the Faithful Departed. That is a 100% Catholic sentiment, a standard Catholic prayer, as well as the Catholic position in the matter. All those cheering at the thought of RBG roasting in hell were in the wrong. Catholics don't have inverse canonizations, or declarations of who is in hell. All departed souls can and should be prayed for.

Pooch is gone? Damn, who am I gonna slap around here now? ::)

Pooch was like that sparring partner who keeps shows up at the gym running his mouth but never learning anything or getting any better, yet you got tired from beating on him. One thing about ol poocher, he was consistent for the same old tired norvus ordo, touchy-feely, church of "nice" garbage. Oh well, I'm sure he'll find another trad house to hang out in and drive people crazy. That's IF you let him.

For what its worth, I don't bother trying to get anyone banned, I just don't have the time or energy, I'll just kicked the dust from you off my feet and move on.......yes, I think I've heard that one time from somewhere.

Both are wrong.  What he said absolutely equated her with the Faithful Departed...and he never denied that.

Having said that, I am glad he's finally gone.

I didn't really care if poche was banned except that other good members left or were banned because of poche. Now that poche is banned, please, Matthew, unban Klas4ge or whatever his name was and Mark76 and send an email to BTNYC informing him that poche is banned. And if there are any other members who left because of poche.

Post by: Ladislaus on October 05, 2020, 05:35:57 PM
You did the right thing, Matthew.  Poche was not harmless and he pertinaciously promoted grave errors and heresy and Modernism in general.

Religious indifferentism is no joke; it is not harmless and it is not a trivial matter.

Note that I am not speaking about various looser interpretations of EENS, which the Church has (regrettably) never condemned, but about full-blown religious indifferentism.

Since he refused to explain what his motivations were to post here on CI, I'd wager that he was nothing more than a troll with malicious intent.

The latter.

In the spirit of De mortuis nil nisi bonum, it is not inappropriate to recall amidst all the jubilation that whatever else might be said about poche, he was never rude, coarse, snide, or insulting in either his comments or his disagreements with anyone. Temperance in discussion and argument might not be the greatest or the most important virtue, but it is indeed a virtue and as such is worthy of remark and imitation, especially as no one here, myself certainly included, is in any way regretful that he has been banned.

I'm not sure anymore with the neo-SSPX, but, yes, absolutely.  And Pope St. Pius X would have excommunicated him (were he a figure of any prominence).

With Mark 79's (cf.

You're right; it isn't his style. Poche was many things but never sneaky or dishonest. Sadly, he never listened to sense either.

As for the actual culprit, Matthew is surely able to identify him or her, and he might consider a temporary banning of the offender if we all ask nicely. In the meantime, open speculation as to the person's identity won't do anything except create (or increase) resentment at unsupported allegations.

This was taken into serious consideration when I was deciding about Poche's ban.

Either he's so far gone Modernist he does such things automatically (subconsciously), or he's doing it conciously, and therefore maliciously. Either way, that is not a good sign at all.

If you're innocently duped, you don't feel any compulsion to distort the truth one direction or the other. You don't distort things when you're just looking for the truth.

I think it would be difficult to find genuinely probative evidence that poche willfully distorted the truth. After all, there are at least a dozen conciliar-oriented websites that are stocked with the sort of cherry-picked quotes—all tending to celebrate the council and the Newchurch that emerged in its revolutionary aftermath—that poche was forever posting here. I think it's likely that he frequented such sites on a regular basis and brought the fruits [ahem] of his research back here. He was, after all, Newchurch right down to his corpuscles.

Take, for example, the quotes that suggest that Pius XI's Mit brennender Sorge was nothing but a condemnation of Hitler and the nαzι regime. Poche must have posted those sentences here twenty times or more in the eight years I've been around. Of course, even the Jews are fans of those bits in that encyclical, though naturally for their own malicious reasons.

Poche seems genuinely to have believed that what he wrote was true. The truly Trad thing to do would be to remember him occasionally in our prayers, with the object being that he'll awaken from his delusional dream before it's too late.

Well said, though I don't agree that praying for Poche is a truly trad thing to do (at least not on this forum). Though I now think that it's a good thing that Poche has been banned, it would indeed be good to remember him in our prayers, though very few here would ever consider doing that, since Poche is the very epitome of the enemy for many here. But aren't we supposed to love our enemies and pray for them? I wonder who said that.....

The frustrating thing about Poche is that he would not ever admit that he was wrong, as has been mentioned here before, and he wouldn't listen to reason.

I would agree with this except he was corrected probably just as many times and continued to post the same things anyway.

I don't know if it was willful for Poche, but it was consistent and stubborn enough to ban him IMO.  It would be one thing if, as Ladislaus suggested awhile back, he at least gave some indication of where he actually stood and why he was here, but since he didn't, he really just came off as an incessant troll who constantly derailed the forum with nonsense.

i'll pray for him though.  If he is sincerely just a duped NO Catholic, I don't think he should be here if he's not able to converse responsibly, but he isn't auto-damned.  And if he really is a malicious plant, well, he could still convert

As for Kryptonite, is it really too much to ask or expect that a soi-disant Catholic who attends Mass on a regular basis will know that the celebrant and the server say slightly different forms of the Confiteor, forms that correspond with their respective offices in the celebration of Mass? Matthew certainly seems to think that the expectation is legitimate. And "ruthlessly excoriated"? Hardly. The words you failed to find are "sharply upbraided."

Enough said, however. I am not looking for a quarrel here, whether with you or anyone else. In this Jubilee Week of poche's departure and in accord with Josefa's wise counsel, I wish all men and women well. Sword sharpening is put on hold till November.

Poche was banned at Suscipe Domine some years ago and never tried coming back with a different account.  So I don't expect it here either.
I am pleased to see Mark and Klas posting again.  Welcome back.  I am looking forward to an increase in high quality posts here.

poche, is that you?   :laugh1:

No, the decision wasn't based on the fact that people went "apoplectic" over something.  Apoplexy, as you put it, often simply has to do with the issue at hand.  So, for instance, JayneK mixed it up with flat earthers and also took a position regarding the discipline of wives that some strongly disagreed with, and these can be hot-button issues.

I know of two posters here who irritate me much more than poche ever did, but I've never called for them to be banned since they have done nothing that was objectively ban-worthy.  Getting under my skin because of how they think or post, etc., is not worthy of a ban.  Out of charity, I won't name them here, but they probably know who they are.  Neither of them have lied and distorted and also promoted error/heresy condemned by the Church.  Nor have Jayne or Greg.

Like Poche, Lenoard Nimoy was Jєωιѕн.

Overall, Spork is a bad avatar for a traditional Catholic forum.

Here's why:

Leonard Nimoy revealed in an interview how a Jєωιѕн (Kabalah) hand sign, signifying the feminine aspect of God
was used for the Vulcan greeting, which has been used by unwittingly by thousands of people.

(https://www.worldbulletin.net/images/resize/100/656x400/haberler/news/2015/03/02/spock.jpg)

World Bulletin / News Desk  Source (https://www.worldbulletin.net/america-canada/star-trekJєωιѕн-sign-unwittingly-used-by-millions-h155987.html)

Leonard Nimoy was synonymous with the Vulcan hand salute, to 'Live Long and Prosper,' but even the most dedicated Trekkies are completely unaware of the Jєωιѕн origins of the famous greeting and its personal significance to the actor.

Nimoy, the son of a barber, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on 26 March 1931 to Ukrainian immigrants who were Orthodox Jews. The actor first saw what would later become the Vulcan salute, as a child during an Orthodox Jєωιѕн ѕуηαgσgυє service in Boston.

Nimoy first witnessed the gesture as part of a religious Jєωιѕн blessing. In a 2013 interview with the National Yiddish Book Centre he recalled how the memory of the moment never left him.

The sign is made during a ritual made by the priests and when instructed to not look which he didn't at first, but then as a young child took a peek and it had stayed with him. So when the time came when the first Vulcans recogised others of their race, a special greeting became necessary, Nimoy suggested the Shin sign.

"I think we should have some special greeting that Vulcans do," Nimoy recalled saying. He suggested the prayer gesture from his childhood. "Boy," he said, "that just took off. It just touched a magic chord."

He further noted that "most people to this day still don't know. People don't realize they're blessing each other with this!"

No, I am not banned and I just posted earlier in this thread.   I suspect most members who have been here less that five years do not even know who I am.  Or, if they do, they think of me as someone who argues with flat earthers, not a notorious forum trouble maker comparable to Poche.

So here is an explanation for those who are puzzled:  I came to trad forums when I was new to tradition, after 30 years in the Novus Ordo. I was an annoying poster with modernist views similar to those of Poche (though far more conventional eating habits).  Unfortunately, during my first few years on trad forums,  I had no clue about how much I needed to learn.  I thought I was already well-educated in Catholicism and I argued incessantly.  People did call for me to be banned back then, much as we have about Poche.  

Unlike Poche, however, I was teachable, and became more and more traditional in my views.  It has probably been years since I wrote anything doctrinally problematic.  My case illustrates why Matthew tends to be slow to ban people.  He prefers people to stick around and learn.

By the way, Greg is banned, but not over religious issues.  His rudeness to the forum owner passed what Matthew was willing to tolerate.

Absolutely true. Greg was outspoken and deliberately provocative at times, and he was intolerant of anything that he considered sanctimonious or just plain stupid. He seemed to enjoy creating controversy, and as a result, almost everyone sparred with him at some point or another. But he used his material success and prosperity in a manner consistent with the corporal works of mercy. His generosity with employment advice and concrete offers of job assistance has had no parallel here at CathInfo. For that reason alone, I admired him and regret his absence (well, sometimes). Moreover, I think that the malice and contempt for Greg that some people here are still ready and willing to express says a great deal more about them than about him.

Interesting graph, but I'm not sure how much the idea of naming "generations" as if they were separate classes of people really makes sense. Maybe with the Boomer generation it makes some sense, because that generation is defined by objective, concrete events, namely the end of World War II and the subsequent large number of children produced by people of a similar age group. But after that ... I dunno, I don't see any objective basis for subsequent names of generations.

I miss Greg and his witty contributions, though others might describe his posts otherwise. I do understand why he was banned though (he could be quite rude at times).

He sometimes played the devil's advocate; or just voiced an opposing view, which, as I know full well, doesn't go over very well here.

With poche gone, the average number of daily comments at CathInfo has already dropped by about fifteen hundred.

An excellent example of extreme hyperbole [#].  I guess that the actual drop would be less than 2 dozen, but it might be amusing to see actual stats from Matthew.


One long-standing thread in particular is in danger of sinking without trace. So my question to you, Mark, is this: Friday or not, what's your dinner?

Hah!  That topic was abused into providing spiritual & intellectual nutrition analogous to unenriched corn starch.  Its effect seemed mostly to be wasting space in the CathInfo main-page's right-column list of most recent postings.  As did many of his replies to other topics.

It was an out-of-character case of Poche rebelling against "the establishment",  by which I mean the food pyramid of the cardiologist-dietician industrial complex.

I think I might have remarked at some earlier time that the week I spent in and around Sydney in late November 1968 was in many ways the happiest week of my life. It truly breaks my heart to see what has happened to your once wonderful country at the hands of Jews and other Christophobes—not just the recent massive police-state abuses but the whole pattern of dechristianization and orientalization and antiwhite immigration that originated as far back as the seventies. It demonstrates the truth of what Joe Sobran was fond of saying about voting and the shell game of "democracy": "Do you think that the powers that be would allow us to vote if voting ultimately made any difference?"

Came across an old post by Mark79:



Definition of "POCHE" from the тαℓмυd Balvi, Klein dictionary:

Klein Dictionary,פּוֹקֶרמילון קליין, פּוֹקֶ

Poch, Poche, Pochspiel, a card game resembling poker, from pochen .
The game is so called in allusion to the boastful words of the player Ich poche .]

Yea, but it's NOT your forum, that's the point. Stop acting like it is.

I like some of your post, but your holier than thou attitude and quickness to scandalize others who don't measure up to your scruples is getting a little played out. Let the moderator moderate and not encourage others to get on your ban-wagon.  ::)

I appreciate the information, Captain Obvious, that this isn't my forum.  Nevertheless, I am as entitled as you are to post my opinions.  Evidently your hypocrisy escapes you in trying to dictate what I can and cannot post here.  You'll note that I didn't even request that claudel be banned for his vulgar comments, merely said that I would ban him if he were on a forum that I moderated.

So far, QvD, three people have down-thumbed you for writing what you did. I promise that I wasn't one of them!

I’m over the downvote thing, it’s a broken and useless system. Most of them (80+%) were from Croix. There are posters who will give me 5-10 at a clip just to be vindictive. Good Catholics right? 🙄 I very seldom give a downvote even though I’m tempted to give many, I try to practice self control. 😀

I find it interesting (surprising?) that most posters here have ignored the vulgarity (at best).  I can see messing up as we all do from time to time, but then I would think a Catholic gentleman (especially an older and wiser one) would at least apologize for it once brought to his attention.

Vermont, you are absolutely correct and I apologize! I think you know me well enough to know that I’m very careful about using any profanity or vulgarity. Not long ago I legitimately criticized Croix regarding his effeminate downvoting attacks against you, me and others. I even apologized to the forum for going a bit too far. I reread Claudel’s posts on this thread and some were certainly vulgar and crass. I still like Claudel’s style, but I suggest that he retract the posts. (This is coming from a “Baby Boomer”. 😀)

IMO, the downvote option is a good feature of this forum, and I have more downvotes (percentage-wise) than most forum members. I don't assume vindictiveness with the downvotes, though it's a possibility.

Downvoting helps to ease arguments, since a downvote can be given instead of argument. Otherwise, this thread would probably be even more contentious.

However, I upvoted Alaric's post #109 on this thread, because it made sense.

Indeed, the otherwise-bombastic pseudointellectual shows his true colors by diving into the sewer with this puerile insult.

If this were my forum, I would ban the guy for this comment alone.  Croix got banned for less.

I hope you understand that a few of us might be concerned about your above post, Ladislaus.

Your actions, which included the threat of not posting again until Poche was banned, show that you  believe that you have a certain amount of power here. That is a bit disconcerting, since now you are saying that you want someone else to be banned.

Just because you frame it in terms of "if it were my forum" doesn't change the idea that you now believe that you are entitled to say who should or should not be a forum member. Your recent victory regarding Poche has emboldened you. Not that it was a bad idea to ban Poche, but now that victory seems to have gone to your head. That isn't right or proper. Just because you are insulted doesn't mean that a forum member should be banned because of it.

I don’t have a problem with the idea per se, but this system on Cathinfo leaves much to be desired. I know, for a fact, that approximately 80% of my downvotes are from Croix under various pseudonyms. If the system only allowed someone to give say 5 downvotes a day to a particular member or if their name was attached to their vote, it would be a great improvement.  One good thing that has come out of this is my reluctance to give others downvotes too hastily. (I just gave you an upvote to make up for any downvotes I gave you in the past. 😀)

I have zero "power" here.  Matthew has always been perfectly free to ignore me, and could have let me gone my way.  He banned me for a few months a while back.  I was making a statement about the gravity of the heresies that poche regularly promoted, things that have been repeatedly condemned by the Church's Magisterium.  He's been caught lying, to the point of slandering St. Pius X as a partisan of his errors.  He refused to explain, when requested, where was coming from (what he believed about the Crisis), and so there was no reason to consider him anything but a Modernist troll whose motivation was to wreak havoc on a Traditional Catholic forum.  Pertinacious propagation of heresy is no light matter, and I was calling attention to how grave a thing it was to allow him continue operating as a purveyor of heresy.  It's important that we not become desensitized to how grave a thing heresy is.  It's easy to just brush it off, "Oh, that's just poche being poche again."  That is simply not the Catholic attitude toward heresy.  Heresy is a matter of life and death, and that is why the Church regularly encouraged the execution of heretics throughout her history.

I never said that I wanted claudel banned, only making a statement that if this were my forum, I would have banned him over the exceedingly vulgar comments (a puerile insult).  This was more a statement agreeing with 2Vermont that his comments were "Disgusting".  I couldn't agree more.

What happened to the “Burning at the Stake” emoji ?

Like excommunication, Cathinfo should have a solemn ritual for member banning.

Actually, it wasn't a threat.  He DID stop posting (with one exception to explain why he wasn't posting) until poche was banned.  I remember you have expressed your desire that all sedes be banned.  You could try not posting until all sedes are banned.  Who knows, if you get enough people to join you, it might work.  Don't blame Ladislaus for making a very accurate assessment of the situation and then effectively bringing about a change that the vast majority of us were in agreement with.

Actually, it wasn't a threat.  He DID stop posting (with one exception to explain why he wasn't posting) until poche was banned.  I remember you have expressed your desire that all sedes be banned.  You could try not posting until all sedes are banned.  Who knows, if you get enough people to join you, it might work.  Don't blame Ladislaus for making a very accurate assessment of the situation and then effectively bringing about a change that the vast majority of us were in agreement with.

Which a vast majority of sedes and sedewhatevers are in agreement with, you mean.

Yeah, I think I did say once that all sedes hould be banned, in a moment of frustration. But I don't parrot the request. And I certainly would never say I'm going to stop posting until sedes are banned (as much as you might like that idea).

I'm going to continue to point things out which may be unpleasant for sedes and sedewhatevers. You can always put me on "ignore" if that's a problem.

I am not a sede at all and I agreed with banning Poche.  He used intellectually dishonest arguments to support modernist ideas.  He did this habitually and pertinaciously.  Not only was this problematic in itself, it drove away many fine posters from this forum.  Whatever one may think of Ladislaus, he did a good thing by drawing attention to the problem in a way that encouraged Matthew to reconsider it.  We should be grateful to both of them and you would realize this if you were not blinded by personal dislike of Ladislaus.

While I would not say that you should be banned, Meg, it does seem strange to me that you continue to post here.  It is a constant them of your posts that you are dissatisfied with this forum.  You are continually complaining:  There are too many sedes.  Resistance views receive inadequate support.  People prevent you from posting your ideas. (This last is patently false and yet I have seen you claim it multiple times.)  I do not recall ever seeing another poster remain on a forum that he dislikes as much as you seem to dislike this one.

Spork hasn't answered yet.

I did ask poche several times to let us know where he's coming from and why he posts on the forum given that he disagrees with every other member here.  He refused to answer.  That to me suggests that he was just a malicious troll.  I would have accepted anything sincerely offered, like "I go to the FSSP Mass." or "I am a Novus Ordo Catholic with some interest in the Traditional movement for reason x, y, or z."  But he offered nothing.  This isn't too much to ask, just to explain your position.  I'm convinced that he was an anti-Traditional troll, someone who disliked Traditional Catholics and wanted to troll us.

What's most unpleasant about your posts is that you never actually make a rational argument, but simply dismiss the position and make derogatory comments.  We'll be arguing back and forth between R&R and sedes on a thread, and you'll just chime in with snide comments every few posts without actually addressing anything that's being written.

Yes, Meg suffers from SDS, Sedevacantist Derangement Syndrome.  She gets triggered at anything that might even imply a position similar to something a sedevacantist might say.  I adapted this from the term TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome, where the Left get immediately triggered by anything even remotely related to Trump.

Sedeprivationists are outside the Church. If R&R or Novusordoism is true they are obviously outside the Church, but if sedevacantism is true they are also outside the Church of sedevacantism. Don't risk your salvation to a crackpot position of one theologian and then adopted by a small minority of Thuc Bishops. And don't try to fall back on tradcuмenism. Your soul depends upon it. Abandon your Sanbornian buffoonerey and choose the Church of sedevacantism or the Church of Francis.

Matto, this doesn't make any sense.  There is no "Church of sedevacantism."  The key difference between sedevacantism and sedeprivationism is what happens to the designation of office, whether it goes away by itself or whether the Church has to remove it  ... with various practical consequences about how a restoration of the Church may or may not happen.  Both positions agree, and so does Father Chazal by the way, that the V2 papal claimants lack authority in the Church.

Also, you do realize, don't you?, that one can be formally united to the Church while being materially separated, just as those Catholics were who happened to side with the wrong pope during the so-called Western Schism.

With this post, it is you who are coming across as a buffoon.

You need to stop while you're behind.  Simply because you don't understand the formal-material disctinction, that does not render it invalid.  It's one of the chief distinctions employed by scholastics.

You're making a fool of yourself.  Bishop Sanborn is a highly-educated and well-trained priest with many years of theology under his belt.  If you have a rational argument whereby you believe he's wrong, then go ahead.  But for you to denounce him as a "buffoon" from the standpoint of your untrained armchair theology demonstrates a great hubris on your part.

Bishop Guerard des Lauriers, who developed sedeprivationism, was no mere Thuc bishop.  He was one of the most highly respected Thomistic theologians in the Church before Vatican II, helped Pope Pius XII write the decree on the Dogma of the Assumption, co-authored the Ottaviani Intervention, and was personal confessor to Pope Pius XII for a number of years.  Disagree with him all you want, but to deride him as a buffon, you're making a first-class ass of yourself.  You yourself probably haven't had a single course in scholastic theology.

I was obviously joking, digging at Meg, which is why I quoted "What's most unpleasant about your posts is that you never actually make a rational argument, but simply dismiss the position and make derogatory comments.  " but you took me seriously. You can not tell an honest opinion from an obvious joke. Now I don't think you are really a buffoon . . . but you should have saw my joke as a joke instead of taking offense. But I do like Meg also and am glad she posts here.

In that case, accept my apologies, and take the criticism in the previous posts as that of the satirical position you posted rather than of yourself personally.  I did not recognize the satire or the joke there.

See, your post was not actually representative of anything Meg would write, because it contains an implicit syllogistic argument ... and she never gets that far ... usually just making some snide comment about sede-whateverism.

No need to apologize. I am sorry my joke was not funny.

No, it's not that.  I simply didn't recognize it as a joke.  Perhaps an emoticon would help.  Before the invention of emoticons, I was routinely misconstrued as being serious when making sarcastic or satirical comments.  Sometimes it's only the context of non-verbal communication (tone of voice, etc.) ... or now, an emoticon ... that the difference can be discerned.

I don't think it had to do with any of that.  It seems to me that Matto has become more anti-sede in recent months, so the posts were totally believable.

I have started to like Meg.
In the past we used to fight, but I think she’s matured in the last 18 months.

I’ve thought of her positions as an +ABL ultra-loyalist, and maybe a sede-phobe.  But that’s okay.

Her indifference to Poche I viewed as a female sympathy thing...

Like when you come in the house to tell the wife you’re gonna shoot the dog cause he killed all the chickens.

Her first response is to feel sorry for the dog and ask you to spare the “poor Puppy’s” life.

But I’m glad Matthew shot Poche.
His theology was malignant and he had to go.

I became "anti-sede" after I tried to listen to the first Novus Ordo Watch "TRADCAST" and right at the beginning the host declared that only sedes were traditional Catholics. That was the moment. But I am not really anti-sede. My two best friends are sedes and I respect them and consider them Catholics and don't argue with them. But I disagree with the position and think it is mistaken and think some of the more extreme ones are schismatic. Sometimes when thinking about the sad state of the Church I make fun of sedes, but they are not the only people I make fun of.

I did ask poche several times to let us know where he's coming from and why he posts on the forum given that he disagrees with every other member here. He refused to answer.

He did not refuse to answer. Rather, he simply didn't answer. As an exercise in self-control, Ladislaus, try writing fifty tendentiousness-free words every day.


That to me suggests that he was just a malicious troll.

It might suggest to someone less egocentric that poche simply thought it was none of your business, especially as your status at this site is no more official than his was.

Poche is gone, and very few people hereabouts regret his dismissal (I don't). But showering ceaseless insults on a guy who is in no position to respond is anything but admirable. What's next for you, Ladislaus? How long will it be till you start telling us all what you've been eating for dinner, whether it's Friday or not? And will those comments be as overbearing as your other comments are?

There's a lot of good-heartedness in this comment. Thumbs way up.

The one thing that sounds a bit discordant to me concerns loyalty to Archbishop Lefebvre. I don't see how that can be taken too far.

Still posterior-hurting over my calling you out for your vulgar insults, I see.

I think that they need to put your picture next to the dictionary entry for "hypocrite", attacking me for "insults" after your vulgar puerile insults on this very thread.  BTW, calling poche a malicious troll was not an insult, but speculation regarding his motive for being on his forum.  That term "trolling" refers to a type of behavior and malicious refers to a motivation other than just for personal amusement ... i.e. to create problems for Traditional Catholics.  And the comment was in the context of speculation that this "Spork" character might be an alternate account for poche himself, and not the proverbial beating of a dead horse who is "gone".

In having asked him to explain his motivations, it was to give him an opportunity to rule out that he was nothing but a troll, since his behavior strongly suggested that he was trolling.

Even if Poche was 100% Traditional, he had a pattern of asking/posting sentimental, emotional, subversive, anti-orthodox posts.  When challenged or asked to clarify, he’d go dark. He did this for years.    
.
This is not truthful behavior and it warranted his ousting.

If R&R or Novusordoism is true they are obviously outside the Church, [...] Don't risk your salvation to a crackpot position of one theologian and then adopted by a small minority of Thuc Bishops.
Wrong analysis, my friend. The Novus Ordo, which R&R officially recognizes as the "Catholic Church", at the very least, tacitly holds that even Buddhists, Muslims and Jews are somehow inside the Church and can have salvation, if they're of good will. So sedeprivationists certainly can't be outside the Church and damned, if those who reject the true Christ (proclaimed by the Athanasian Creed) can be saved.

In other words, it's a safer bet to be any sede that doesn't breach the threshold of schism, than to be novus ordo. If the sede is wrong and the novus ordo is right, then the sede is still saved as are all other religions. But if the sede is correct, and the novus ordo is wrong, how many novus ordo will be damned? Our Lord tells us narrow is the way to the Father, and few are making it through...

Matto,

Also, you do realize, don't you?, that one can be formally united to the Church while being materially separated, just as those Catholics were who happened to side with the wrong pope during the so-called Western Schism.
This is incorrect as there was no wrong side in GWS. Catholics are allowed to recognise either FR or It faction as true Il Papa. :cowboy:

Honestly, even most sede clergy believe that non Christians can be saved under some conditions, for better or worse. 

All that said, I agree that the sometimes occurring sede-phobia among NOs is strange.

What happened to the “Burning at the Stake” emoji ?

Like excommunication, Cathinfo should have a solemn ritual for member banning.
I miss that little man who rolls around on his back killing himself with laughter.
