If Sedevacantism is not impressive, it is because the unimpressed person hasn't yet come to understand the weight of dogma.

Bottom line.

Not that I BLAME them, they may be simply ignorant, but that's a fact.

From your blog post:

But if rum was in disagreement with the personalities of Te Deum, then why would he continue posting there?

I didn't, but it wasn't over reasonable disagreements. If you had read the thread you would know that I told Vox I won't be posting over there, and the reasons I gave were his constant baiting and general dishonesty, temp bans, locking threads and prematurely deleting threads with no explanation. I'm mature enough to argue with people who disagree with me. But I'm not masochistic enough to deal with being abused by a 50-year-old toddler who goes unchecked by the admin and the mods. If anyone with any Catholic sense were to read my posts over there I'd be surprised if they found anything that made me worthy of such attacks. He started thumbing up many posts of mine, for obvious reasons, during the time when LoverofTruth was criticizing him. That was the final straw. He's an embarrassment.

But he's got a lot of company on these forums. Maybe a majority.

I doubt that Voxpop has that much support.  Consider this statement he made recently:

I think anyone who thinks CI is a good catholic forum is in danger. And Im not just speaking from my bias. Same goes for FE and SD...Tedeum would not tolerate one tenth of the nonsense these sites allow.

While nobody expressed disagreement with him, it is obvious from the number who post to other forums, that they do not agree.  Given the situation, it is hard to tell how much actual support he has on any given topic.  It may simply be a matter of people who do not want to be banned from TD.

Keep telling yourself that...maybe it will lessen the obvious frustration you feel as you lurk outside...unable to join...unable to look away.
I find it fascinating that after all this time...and now 40+ pages in..both you and rum are still grousing about me and calumnating me here in the tall grass of CI...safe in the unmoderated zone. And if number of members counts for anything I suppose the atheist forums are better than CI?
You guys are really dragging bottom now.

I do not see how it is calumny to state my opinion that you are not a good moderator.  I am not sure why this bothers you so much.  It's not like I am saying you are a bad person or a bad Catholic. (Just think about all the things you have called me in the past.) As far as I'm concerned, very few people have the qualities needed to be a good moderator.  I am even on record saying that I do not think that I would be a good one.

I guess you are right that I am a bit frustrated about being banned from Te Deum.  I lurk there and I occasionally see a post that I would like to respond to, especially now that there are more women posters and more posts on homemaking topics.  So yes, I would be grateful if my ban were lifted.  (Ironically enough, I would probably be a model poster in terms of following rules and respecting moderator authority.  That is just the way I roll.)

But I'm not losing sleep over it.  It has been over a year since I was banned and that has been plenty of time to get used to it.  I was in the wrong and I have to accept the penalty that was given.

I wish you all the best dealing with the additional responsibility while Sbyvl is on hiatus.
