This story hasn't even hit the news yet AFAIK. I suspect it is going to be big
Slowly making the rounds..

Bro thinks we are going to hunt the exTrads down 
No, he didn't really suggest that. What he DID suggest was that CathInfo was as problematic as, say, "Stormfront" or "4Chan". The kind of website you wouldn't want your boss to catch you reading. Or, the kind of website you clear your browser history after visiting. Give me a break!
CathInfo is a discussion board of serious, faithful Traditional Catholics fighting the evils of the modern world and sharing information and opinions on matters important to Catholics living in the modern age. How is that fundamentally bad? Strictly speaking, Traditional Catholic is just CATHOLIC. I always say we should give benefit of the doubt to non-Trads, since many don't know any better. But in the main, non-Trads are barely Catholic and often not Catholic.
How do you tell which ones are non-Catholic? Well, they are usually hostile towards "Traditional Catholics"...

We prick their conscience by our strict morality, fidelity to Catholic doctrine, etc. -- the same effect we have on protestants and other non-Catholics.
We agree about one thing though: "Had no idea he would be a trad based on his choice of music genre, but whatever."
Some genres of music are just "secular" or guilty of being "not Chant". Even Classical would pretty much fit into this category.
But there are forms of music that are pretty much averse or incompatible with a good, healthy state of soul (where the reason is in charge, the passions are subordinated, one's soul is at peace with God, etc.) such as certain kinds of metal, gangsta rap, boogie woogie, R&B, etc. They are more than merely dissipating (opposite of mindful/recollected) or distracting.
Music that facilitates despair, or music that promotes and leads listeners to sensuality and immorality, is not good.
