I enjoyed many of his one-liners (those that we're extremely uncharitable) and also the different perspective he brought to the site, but he took his insults too far and couldn't keep a level head. He was in "fight mode" too much. It's a shame.
He had WAY too much of The World in him. His last posts were all about fist fights, testosterone, being tough or hard, attacking those who for WHATEVER reason didn't have the aggressiveness (or figure) of a 20 year old man who spends 2 hours a day in the gym, etc.
I 100% agree with Ladislaus on this one -- men who bluster so much are overcompensating for their own insecurity or lack of real masculinity. And what kind of "man" calls a Traditional Catholic woman foul names?
He has become/is becoming blind to vital truths touching on the Faith, especially the virtue of charity.
He values what worldly people value, and is "losing it" when it comes to the Faith.
As Ladislaus pointed out, even the issue of divorce and courts being unfair to men is a bit of a red herring, distraction, or non-issue when it comes to Trads. Because after all, 99% of men who complain about how badly the courts spanked or burdened them complain about how "I have to pay this much to my ex-wife and child support, so I barely have enough left for my new wife and children." A Catholic is not allowed to divorce/remarry and start a second family, period. If your wife is alive, you stay single. That's all there is to it. All a divorced man needs is enough to support
himself. And according to Ladislaus, who knows many divorced men, even the "big bad courts" don't leave the men destitute or unable to support themselves -- in fact, they are able to start entire 2nd and even 3rd families! Again, not something a Catholic can do.
So what's the problem? Croix doesn't even stop and think about it from the standpoint of the Faith. His head is swimming with worldly values, ideals, with a bit of the Faith thrown in. Just enough to be dangerous, I'd say.
He hangs around guys who complain about modern women, and most of them are non-Catholic. They think the courts are unfair, because these guys want to be able to "move on" and find a new spouse and start a new household, without having to support their children from their first "failed" marriage at all.
