I didn't delete anything and Matthew isn't home, so I think you might check again.
Ok, here is what I said:
Before I returned to CI about 6 months ago, I had about 3,000 thumbs-up, and 20 thumbs-down.
Since my return, I’m estimating about 300 of each.
Now if I am the same old Sean (as friend and foe will both concede), how do you explain the changed perceptions in my regard?
This is my theory:
1) The defections from CI some of the most prominent R&R members/posters;
2) The massive influx of sedes who filled the void;
3) The advent of the Flatheads, turning so many off.
That, and the forum’s decision to cease being the “de facto headquarters of the resistance,” in favor of becoming a tradcuмenical gossip board (without a single other member capable of writing an article, but legions ready to gripe about anyone else’s).
This is the “neo-Cathinfo” which holds our freedom of the press (tradcuмenism) as though it were a Catholic principle, whereas I am the “paleo-CI.”
A dying breed, thanks in part at least to the new liberal spirit of tolerance.
