I don't mean to offend anyone or anything, i am just geniunely asking because i am not very familiar with that other forum, and in fact im not familiar with it at all.

I'm not sure there's an answer to this question.  I've wondered the same thing.  I was never much of a regular on IA and I was never able to get any understanding why Mr. Lane was banned.  I've never read anything that he has written that one would think would lead to banishment.

It's called politics.

Yes, I understand that much.  But what is the political issues that would allow Fr. Cekada to remain a member in good standing and banish Mr. Lane?  This is what doesn't make sense given the political posture of IA.

After IA was infiltrated a few years ago, it was subsequently subverted and failed to function as it once had, and thus you have these type of inconsistencies.

Mr. Lane was a perceived threat to the "anti-accordista" agenda. Fr. Cekada was deemed a useful person wrt that agenda.

Mr. Lane was a threat to no one. There were quite a few Menzingen apologists on the site at the time, one more made little difference.

I was never certain why Fr. Cekada was on IA to begin with.  What did he hope to gain or contribute?  Most of his posts referred one back to some article he had written in the distant past, or were taken up with other items of theological and liturgical minutia.

?????

Well, actually he opposed the "resistance" and was a PERCEIVED threat. There was no good reason to ban him.

I do not see why he was banned, but he was one among many who opposed the resistance. He was similar to and no better or worse than John McFarland in this regard.
Patrick the forum owner was not in favor of the resistance either, and the few times that he intervened it was against them.

Regardless of all of that. John lane in essence became a defacto propagandist for Menzingen but that would not seem a justification for his banishment.

As I said earlier once IA was subverted, these illogical and inconsistent things began to occur. This was simply one more of them.
