Your name might as well be Mud, Martin.
Now I haven't been following your posts over the long term. Perhaps you or someone else could direct me to the series of posts in which you changed your mind about Boston and actually did something to dissuade folks from going there: a grand exposé of some sort. Because to me, that's what people who have been a big part of a bad situation do to help clear their conscience and turn over a new leaf in their lives. All I remember is you being given special protection status, disappearing for a time and reappearing to post on unrelated issues from time to time only to return to the subject of Boston in order to defend Pablo over something a seminary cook wouldn't necessarily be privy to.
You see, the more you claim to have been involved in that cult operation, the greater your culpability becomes. The less effort you make to expose the well known issues over there, the more suspicion you accrue to yourself. The more you respond to valid criticism - your deflections, your credibility, your motivations, with little more than vulgar recriminations and hollow self affirmations, the more you prove that you are still part of the problem. Let's just say you've pushed all of these categories well past the point of my gastronomic capacity.
So I don't buy your act. You're not a little kid, though you argue like one. You're not directly responsible for the sacrileges at Boston like Frs Pfeiffer and Hewko are, nor are you responsible for the variously sinful behavior of Pablo (as far as we know), but you were present for much of it and you spent an awful lot of time on these forums trying to convince people how great it all was. You certainly functioned as an accessory. I distinctly remember how arrogantly you kept chugging along while throwing every single critique out the window, whether it was light-hearted or serious. Believe it or not there was a time I wasn't as harsh on you as I am now! But I am far from the only one who ran out of patience with you.
You played the part of well-intentioned Pollyanna traddy ad nauseum. One thing was for sure and that was there was hardly a single person who agreed with you around here. For the life of me, I still can't figure out why you would spend so much time in a hostile environment unless you were operating under someone else's request. It's entirely possible you truly were that self-convinced, that self-deluded. I suppose the same could be said now. For example, why do I have to explain to a Trad Catholic why "SOB" is not acceptable language? You might prefer I start throwing obscenities your way before you figure it out.
One way or another, Manuel-Martin, forget about Pablo... you have enough to answer for yourself!
