You have some strange taste. CM (which stands for Catholic Martyr, BTW) thought he was one of a handful of true Catholics left on earth -- the only other family he knew of was fkpagnanelli who JUST SO HAPPENED to have a young, single daughter he wanted to give to CM, since they were both on the same page on religion. It was just those two versus the whole world though!

And you want to talk to Puritans who are basically heretics, dogmatic sedevacantists who say you are going to hell unless you believe a new dogma ("the See is vacant")? I guess there is no arguing with taste...

Most people would complain if I *let* such types stay on CathInfo. I guess this is another case of "you can't please everyone".
I could say the same of you, though. Because you banned some people so quickly but let Classicom post for years. Was it years or did it just seem so long? I admit I have a weak memory and a bad sense of time.

My golden age was from 2010 when I first joined until the first ABL forum started and everyone left to post there.

Everyone left to post there, eh? In terms of traffic, they maxed out at 1/3 of CathInfo's traffic, at least in terms of how many registered members checked in within a 24-hour period. But none of the successors to the original ABL forum got even 1/20th of that popularity or traffic.

I did think it was funny, though, that the original ABL forum had 3 moderators, and at least 2 of them were sedevacantist. I guess I didn't know +ABL was a sedevacantist...hahaha (note: I'm joking. +ABL was not sedevacantist. That's my point: The forum was ironically named.)

I guess it was hyperbole. Your forum was always better than ABL forum. They were a non-entity relatively speaking. Except for the presence of Telesphorus and SSS who exclusively posted there and abandoned Cathinfo.

Hey, I've developed a certain skill at moderating over the years. I wasn't the same moderator at 30 or 32 (with a few years experience) that I am today, with 12 years experience under my belt. If Classiccom joined today, he'd be gone as soon as I saw he didn't believe in Vatican I (yes, that's a ONE). Maybe I was a bit slow to ban people in the beginning, but I was new. I'll admit it.

I am kidding with you a little but you and me agree on one thing. We both think you run a great Cathinfo forum. I just miss many of the old members who left and was upset about too much flat-earth discussion and got tired of the sedevacantism debates for a while. I think you are the best moderator of any of them. Even though I do not agree with all your decisions.
