    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.

    Note #: No, I do not consider that phrase to be needlessly redundant.

    I appreciate your refreshing honesty, tbh. It's your way of speaking, especially considering you're from NY, and it's not crass or anything.

    Very kind of you; I won't forget your words, especially now, when the Sanctimony Squad is pressing on all sides. Cheers!

    H/t to AD, too, for his delightfully cranky comment. Poche as a rebel against the government's tiresome food pyramid is an idea to ponder. I'm not ready to go out to buy some Velveeta, but … well, you get the idea.

    Unlike Poche, Claudel, you are well worth picking over. I like your style!

    To you, too, heartfelt thanks, Nadir.

    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?"

    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.
    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 thought Claudel was born during the war. But why don't people like him? I think he is one of the best posters here. I always like reading his posts. I think he can reason well enough though sometimes he does insult people. Though he has never insulted me.
    I agree. Even though we have our disagreements, I find his writing style witty and he seems like a decent chap.

    • 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 .]

    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.
