CathInfo.com

I have heard it claimed that Catholic Answers is not a Catholic forum and that Cathinfo is a good Catholic forum. (In fact it was a running joke that it was a badge of honor to be banned from Catholic Answers as well as from Fisheaters and Suscipe Domine). Well my cousin Mark who I love once asked me if there were any forums I was a member of and I told him about Cathinfo. He told me to write the web page down for him. I thought I wrote down www.Cathinfo.com as I thought at the time as I do now that Cathinfo was the best Catholic forum on the internet. Later on he told me that he had looked at the forum, but he told me he had gone to Catholic Answers instead of Cathinfo which I thought was the website I gave to him. Did I unknowingly write down Catholic Answers? Or did he unknowingly read Catholic Answers? On which end was the mistake. It is a mystery to me.

Well after years of posting on CAF, walking on eggshells all the time there to avoid infractions and suspensions, and lately having threads I posted on immediately close after I posted, I decided that CAF had been trying for years to tell me they don't like my kind and I should look for a friendler forum.

So sometime last month I signed up on Fisheaters. My husband and I eat fish on Fridays. It was a big step for me to admit I am a Trad and should look for a Trad forum. (I don't like labels. I just want to be Catholic.) I realized I had more in common with Trads than those who don't call themselves that. So I joined, and immediately got caught up in a thread with a crazy arguer, a bulldog who was clearly not trad at all, who'd have liked to do this   :heretic: to Father Treco.  Then another was MagisterMusicae who is truly the stereotype of rigid condemning Trad, and the type who just wants to win an argument. He wore me out.    I truly felt the hate.

Then suddenly with no warning or explanation I got banned. I wasn't there a month!  Vox did not answer my simple why queries.  I figured it was MagisterMusciae because I truly felt the hate there.:really-mad2:

Then I figured that that was such an odd experience in such a short time that I could not be the only one. I began to search about Fisheaters online and I got the best understanding here on Cathinfo.  Yup, I was not the only one with a weird experience. And it was here I figure out why I got banned. It was not what I thought. It was Impygate. (I learned about that here) I had unknowingly treaded on sensitive (sacred?) ground when I began a thread about something I had been thinking about: What if some (or many) priests and bishops, and up, are transgenders? I think it was my starting that thread that got me banned.  Because there was another odd thing about that. When no one addressed my real concern (actually LionHippo did) I tried to clarify what I was getting at by writing a carefully written post explaining why this is a likely possibility. I made the case clearly and concisely, with a lot of thought and editing. And it disappeared! Next morning I went to check it, and it was gone! I wondered if I was mistaken, but I really felt not. So I was going to try to recompose it, but I think that is why I got banned.

So what I really, really want to know is, what is wrong with SuscipeDomine?? Someone please tell me. Because I signed up there the day I signed up here, and they haven't let me in yet. Not sure if there is any reason for that. What do folks know about that forum, and why would one lump it in with Fisheaters and CAF?

[Oh, poor me, the innocent victim]…blah, blah, blah…

Sounds familiar—reminiscent of the self-obsessed tribe that never pauses in honest self-reflection, but always blames "the other guy."
