I'll tell you my motivation right here and now, openly:
A few years ago, I was told by Bp. Zendejas that various Trads in his travels thought I was "Feeneyite and/or Sedevacantist" because of my forum, and the topics discussed there.
That is simply not accurate, so it bothers me.
About that time I created that "interview with the moderator" which was more of a self-interview. I don't think I created the "ghetto" for Feeneyism at that time, BUT I do remember renaming it -- so there would be no question about my own opinion of the matter. I want people to think I've made a place for people to discuss it, but I'm not into it myself. That's what CathInfo is all about after all -- discussion.
But you can't make everyone happy. For every Ladislaus who wants those topics to be visible all over the "Recent Topics" listing, and found in every sub-forum, there are about 100 members who don't want to see those topics AT ALL. So I have to TRY to keep everyone happy. Keeping those topics in a "ghetto" was a compromise. The alternative was to FORBID ALL DISCUSSION OF THE TOPIC.
Why? Because the third "option", letting the topic be discussed everywhere, was out of the question. I'd rather lose 1 member than 100. Or 2 members than 300. I was getting more than single digit complaints about that topic seeming to "take over the forum". The few fervent proponents and authors on that topic tended to post a LOT.
Feeneyites are often specifically banned from chapels, forums. They tend to be apostles; they need to convert everyone to their position. They post a lot.
Sedevacantists are often specifically banned from chapels, forums. They tend to be apostles; they need to convert everyone to their position. They post a lot.
Guess what two topics have their own dedicated sub-forum on CathInfo?
And, as I said about Sedevacantism many times, I don't want to suffer the slightest inconvenience, much less serious damage, for the sake of a position I DON'T EVEN HOLD AND/OR CARE ABOUT. The OPPOSITE of a hill I'm willing to die on.
If 10 people were upset that I allow discussion of "cօռspιʀαcιҽs" on CathInfo, I'd say "Waaaah waaaah, too bad! There's the door if you don't like it." 10 people, 100 people, I don't care. It's my forum. This forum is for discussion of the truth, and I am firmly convinced about the truth of (((certain people))) working evil plans on this world for centuries. For me, it's a no-brainer that at various times, 2+ evil men get together in secret to work out plans -- plans which they don't advertise to the public. That's all a conspiracy is.
I even allow discussion of topics I'm not expert on, don't care about, or even disagree with (if it's not a clear-cut error). When in doubt, free speech is the order of the day. However, I won't inconvenience myself for such topics -- much less risk lawsuits, lose significant number of members, etc.
