Hello all!

I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you all.  :cool:

I had not heard of this site but was directed here by two Fish Eaters posters.

One described your site as "full of crazy white supremacists".

Considering the source is a self described pant wearing feminist who wears flip-flops to mass, I suppose that should be considered a compliment.  

In any case, to fill you in, after 3 years and 5,000+ posts on Fish Eaters I was banned without warning and without explanation by Joe "Quis". Afterwards, FishEaters displayed their Traditional Catholic Charity by starting a thread now up to 5 pages dedicated to personally calumniating me in my absence.

If INPEFFES is reading this, I thank him, as he is the only one with the moral courage on the thread to speak Catholic truth and risk his own ban in the process.

Joe finally wrote what appears to be half justification half rambling sermon where, with his divine knowledge, he proceeds to publicly psychoanalyze me as an excuse for the ban. At least he does admit that there is no rule that I broke he could point to. The best he could do was to cite some nebulous "change" I had exhibited "over time".  

In any case, a kind soul has brought to my attention some  facts regarding the Fish Eater Forum owners. I will withold the name to protect the person from cruel harassment and an almost certain ban. The message is as follows:

I don't mean to be a gossip, but the whole sad affair was announced at FE:

Vox and Quis were both married to other people when they started chatting. They left their spouses and now live together.

It's disgusting, and a lot of people aren't aware of it. Quis and Vox call themselves Traditional Catholics but they are anything but.

They definitely need our prayers, as do many of the others who post there.

Perhaps your expulsion will make sense to you now.

Indeed it does make more sense. To discover this information after 3 years of posting on the board, assuming "Quis" and "Vox" to be sacramentally married, is shocking to say the least and disappointing. Beyond the questionable personal morality involved there is a proud public announcement and celebratory atmosphere of a civil marriage being entered into by a Catholic already sacramentally married.

Then, as is typical on Fisheaters, some posters, out of fear of an arbitrary ban, turn a blind eye to the affair and get upset, not by the apparent adultery, but by other posters actually warning the forum owners of the moral consequences of their actions!

I do feel it is a blessing that I have discovered this information. In effect the site owners, instead of wasting millions of typed pages proclaiming their version of Catholic Tradition should be more focused on righting themselves with Our Lord before judgment. The public accusations of sin from "Quis" towards other members and his attitude make more sense now as it is guilt projected. It makes sense that someone would defend so sharply the moral certainty of acting on advice of "a priest" even if he is objectively wrong. "A priest" = the priest who told him it was a-ok to get civilly married and date a woman he met online before receiving an annulment from his own 12 year marriage with 3 kids.

What a sad, sad affair. Rather than any scorn or ridicule I ask for your prayers for these people. For the site owners and their situation but also many of the posters on the site who are lost and do nothing to contribute to personal sanctity; rather tearing down others than building up the Mystical Body.

In any case, I look forward to discussions on here.
Many of you are probably familiar with the hypocrisy on the other site and can relate. In fact I fully expect some of them to add this post as fodder for their calumny. They need our prayers.

God Bless!

For any FE lurkers, the FE thread on CAF I posted on was shut down, not because of my posts, but because of forum violations (ad hominem attacks) by Quis, La Roza, and Dauphin. My post was fully within forum rules. Theirs were not. Oh the irony!  

I give up! Tell me.

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Hello steve I used to be a fishie too.I know you!you were one of the few people who posted wise things.

You know, it is funny the amount of PM's I'd get on FE telling me the same thing, and since the ban many posters have told me the same thing. There is a hidden undercurrent of true Tradition at FE but it is kept somewhat underground for fear of reprisal. The various liberals there make it almost impossible to have a meaningful discussion.

The brave souls who stand up are the ones who get struck, but indeed it is an honor to suffer for the Truth.

I've heard "ChantCD" calumniated there as well and I don't even know him.

Chant, do you have experience there as well?

Thanks.

gladius,

Were you "banned" as well?

Carthusian posted this over there:

With Stevus gone...this is just like the time gladius_varitatis was banned.  I rather enjoyed Stevus's discussions

gladius,Were you "banned" as well?

Yes.  If you look in the old controversial folder, which should still be in the archives, I did a lot of work over there.  I got attacked regularly by people who could not control themselves and did not know as much as they thought they did, broke no rules but got booted more than once, etc., etc., blah, blah.  Let it be; let them be.

Indeed. It seems to be an epidemic.

I agree, all in due time I will. However, since they are deliberately running the calumniation thread against me, all the while decrying calumny (pretty neat trick ) I need an opportunity to respond out of justice.
