I for one would prefer to keep my donation amounts anonymous, as various individuals have claimed that the reason I haven't been banned is because of donations I've made, and I can similar allegations being hurled at others who contributed.

In any case, I really like the "Hero Member" thing, so I'd prefer to keep that too :laugh1:

I thought of that -- but what is someone really going to say, in the heat of an argument?

"I disagree with you and on that account I think you should be banned. But I know why you're not banned -- because you have donated to CathInfo in the past, which I, for one, refuse to do for various reasons."

What a (fill in the blank)! Who would take such a one seriously?

But I'm not distinguishing how MUCH was donated -- and I'm hoping it will be a big enough group, that it won't be an issue. What I mean by that: if you start calling every Supporter a "sellout" or some such -- then you'll be calling an increasing % of CathInfo that name. "When everyone is racist, no one is racist" and all that.

I just want to point out that I have followed the site for years now, and I can't think of a single time someone hurled that accusation at Ladislaus in particular. While it is certainly possible and probable (given the site), Ladislaus has more to worry about with the content and style of his arguments than being accused of being a :::shock::: donator. Whether or not he's Matthew's buddy wouldn't be the same thing, either. I don't remember if I ever did it myself, but don't worry Lad --- the odds are so low that you should be able to safely climb down from your soap box.

I think it has happened on more than one occasion, just not by you.

What's funny is that sometimes you have "Sean Johnson" vs "Ladislaus" -- both of whom have donated in the past. So there's that...

I don't agree with Lad on absolutely everything, but on "most" things. He's a fellow ex-seminarian and a good source of knowledge/advice for Traditional Catholics. As such, he is an asset to the forum and I'd be a fool not to recognize that fact. I should point out: the same could be said about Sean Johnson. I would like to see the two get along.

Thank you to all who donated anything in the past, especially during the last year (2023).

i.e., all those marked "Supporter" under their username.
May God bless you in 2024 and beyond!
