Actually, I know some rather intelligent people who don't bother with this site because in the more learned circles this place is full of clowns who can't be told anything. Hardheads, idiots, schismatics, heretics. That is the reputation this place has. Admittedly, I think those critics drop in once in a while. Lol
That description could apply to any significant group of Catholics, of whatever "persuasion" of the Trad world. Any REAL, unfiltered, outside one's "safe zone" or "bubble world" cross section of Catholics is going to look, sound and act exactly like CathInfo.
The alternative would be that I personally attract more than average stubborn, weirdos, Feeneyites, Flat Earthers, etc.
But I have to reject that possibility, since I'm not Sede, Feeneyite, and I'm certainly not sold on Flat Earth. And personally, I constantly preach "a return to basics" of the Traditional Movement, to a time when Trads kept everything in perspective and there were a lot less artificial divisions/categories in place. So if people were following my lead, they would be getting along with each other, not fighting like cats and dogs.
So I can only conclude that such is what you find in the average Trad Catholic today.
CathInfo is the St. Mary's, KS of Trad forums. That is to say, it's like everywhere else, only there's 50X more of EVERYTHING. More learned members, more news, more information, more idiots, more trolls... you get the idea.
CathInfo isn't hosted in heaven, nor do heavenly citizens get to sign up for accounts. We're all fallen human beings here, born in Original Sin, baptized but still bearing the wounds of Original Sin on our souls. To expect perfection just because we're Trads is naive and not very realistic.
