Title: AquinasG was banned
Post by: Matthew on November 09, 2011, 03:31:43 PM
Need I give a reason?

It's pretty simple, actually. He was banned for trolling. I read over many of his posts, and nowhere could I discern a traditional Catholic position. This is a traditional Catholic board. So any fervent Novus Ordo Catholic HOSTILE to tradition, as aquinasG was, would only join a board like CathInfo to "troll".

Novus Ordo Catholics are welcome to come here and ask questions, etc. and they will be presumed to be of good will. That is, until we see otherwise, as was the case with AquinasG.

The definition of "troll" is someone who joins a board just to get a rise out of all or most of the membership, by taking views calculated to inflame passions.

For example, if I joined a Democratic message board claiming to be a staunch Republican, or a Jєωιѕн forum claiming to be a neo-nαzι. Basically, trolling is a behavior frequently seen in teenagers -- those who are bored, who like to mess with people and get reactions from them. Those who don't have a life.

I don't mind arguing with a Novus Ordo person, a Muslim, a pagan, or whoever, if there is actually some back-and-forth in the debate. This character, however, would never concede a point even if he had already been shown he was wrong several times. He would continue to say stuff like " You still haven't shown me any proof of modernist thinking at Vat2" when other posters had long ago shown him the irrefutable evidence.

Also, he wanted to twist and contort the writings of great Saints and Doctors to mean other than what they intended, and would not give in even when he was shown that those same Saints and Doctors had on other occasions spoken quite clearly on those same matters.

In other words, he was a troll. He reminds me of some tedious jackasses over on Catholic Answers Forum who keep insisting that absolutely nothing has changed in the Church in the last fifty years.  :roll-laugh1:

Thanks for banning him, Matthew. He definitely had no place on this forum.

St. Jude Thaddeus, it's funny you say he reminds you of someone on "Catholic" Answers, because aquinas says he was banned from there! LOL.

More evidence that he was just a garden-variety troll.

On Catholic Answers, he probably talked up Tradition to tick everybody off.

He says he made a comment about the NO that people didn't like, so you're probably right.

He was also banned from Bellarmine forums a few days ago. Maybe he's seeing how many forums he can be banned from.

I was going to tell him to simmer down and pick one topic to discuss methodically.  But he was too erratic and seemed to be virtually schizophrenic.  He dabbled in just enough theology and the fathers to be dangerous to himself, there was absolutely no formation in his intellect or coherence in his reasoning.  But he was certainly tenacious and prolific, almost as if he were standing by 24/7 with a ready reply, albeit one sentence non sequiturs or some other fallacy.  Very strange.  I do not think one should be banned for being an errant Catholic though, as we are firm and confident in our position; any novus ordo Catholic should be welcomed here in order to engage in serious discussion.  Constantly arguing with other trads gets rather old.

No shortage of evidence against him.

I'm sure not going to defend him.

Yes, thanks Matt  :dancing-banana:

I don't know why there's been an influx of them recently, it seems. Raoul said there'd always been trolls on here- but I've never said otherwise. It just seems to me they've been here more than normal. Just coincidence? Possibly.. Hopefully we can get back to having good discussions.  :jumping2:

I agree with Caminus- I'm don't mind NO Posters like SantoSubito, or others, as long as they truly engage.

aquinasG went straight to FE and started a thread titled "website"

His 3 posts so far on that thread

"Any of you guy ever been on this forum?: http://www.cathinfo.com/"

"Well there are some intelligent people on there, but there are a ton of errors posted on that forum. I wanted to have rational discussions about those issues but they started calling me names, totally misrepresenting what I was saying, and even called me a Protestant just for asking questions about the Mass. I tried to be sensitive to their sensibilities, because I was raised very traditional and I like the Latin Mass, communion on the tongue, old songs, ect. But I tried to defend those who prefer other spiritual elements and these people took so badl that they worked it out that I can't post of their anymore. Charity is primary virtue, so why does it appear to be lacking among "traditionalists" when people try to discuss their beliefs? Is it because they are a minority? Ironically, there aggresiveness s similar to that of African Americans before Obama's election."

"Although i seems a more quiet over here, they don't have inappropriate features like the other forum, where you can vote on whether you like somebody, or want to ignore somebody. Its just not charitable.

But I enjoy a good, kind debate. Do they ever get going on here ?"

Looks like troll posting to me. He also has a thread going on sedes.

And actually, both threads are against FE rules  :laugh1:

No surprise that he goes running onto FishEaters and starts cutting all of us down. Of course, FE is a joke anyway so we shouldn't care what any of them think of us.

And I notice Walty, who used to post here (and probably still lurks here from time to time), says aquinas will "get a better response" at FE. Well, yeah, if you're a modernist you'll definitely get a better response at a neo-Trad forum like FE than you would here.

Amazing how often charity is improperly defined as playing nice and condoning error :fryingpan:

Liberal-sounding Novus Ordite on FE replies to that thread and slams CatholicInfo with this dumb post:

Quote
I wouldn't be bothered by being banned from Cathinfo.  What stands out most about some who post on that forum is their paranoia and complete lack of charity.  Just today another person was banned because like you they had the nerve to defend the V2 papacy and the Novus Ordo Mass.   The owner of that forum has a tendency to ban anyone whose opinions differ from the regular members.  Yet when you read the rules he says all Catholics and opinions are welcome.  What hypocrisy.  I find it especially juvenile that feature that allows members to vote approval or disapproval on comments posted and to put someone on ignore.  You have to understand that Cathinfo has a lot of members who are either sedevacantists or schismatic.  You can't possibly hope to have a honest debate with people who are their own authority and Magisterium.


I assume the person he's talking about who was banned today is romantheology. This guy on FE must not be too smart, because first of all romantheology was banned for slandering sedevacantist groups and for being a nutjob, not for defending Vatican II. Matthew also never said that "all Catholics and opinions are welcome". What a joke that forum is.
