I'm not happy to see him go. He'd become a problem, but I'd rather he'd get a level head and come back.
Totally agree, Mater. I'll miss many things he had to offer. Hope he'll get sorted, settle down and come back. He certainly knows how to get people's backs up. But calling women pigs and whores was beyond the pale.

Bishop Williamson is having a 30th Consecration anniversary in 2 days, and I'm planning to be there. And no, it's not anywhere near Texas. So I have some things to do yet (packing!)
He just had a 30th Anniversary Celebration this past weekend in Kansas, we had him for four days. I am happy that he set some time to visit the other chapels. I hope you all have as good a time as we did.

I hope everyone can see I really didn't have a choice. I can't start each day by deleting 10+ posts where Croix de Fer is calling other members foul names. And I got sick of all the reports coming in to the moderator about him and his posts. That all adds to my workload. And I'm not exactly an unemployed single guy! Far from it. I'm married with lots of children, employed, with a chapel and large property to take care of. I have better things to do.

The problem is, we all want the old "Croix de Fer" back, but that particular man doesn't exist anymore, at least not at the moment. He has transformed himself into something else much less positive -- which is the very definition of "jump the shark".

That wasn't just jumping the shark. He and that damn shark are in two different time zones, as far as I'm concerned. He went way out of line.

Croix de Fer jumped the shark, and that's all there is to it. He used to have about 100 downvotes or less (vs. 2000 upvotes) -- and that was last month! But now he has more downvotes than upvotes! 
This is what I was noticing and, knowing that you use downvotes as a way to determine whether a member fits in here, I wondered whether you would eventually ban him.
