Having said all that, greeted a new member on a different forum with this:

Hi Chestertonian. Welcome to FE. As Impy said, I was raised Jєωιѕн too, so I can relate to some of what you have said about this. If you have not already discovered it, I recommend that you check out the Association of Hebrew Catholics. http://hebrewcatholic.org/ I am not posting much during Lent, but feel free to PM me any time. I check my PMs every day.
Then later in the day you come into our forum, read the posts, caught red handed.
Then you immediately go back, and at 2pm and write:

I have discovered some things about the site I mentioned above such that I would no longer recommend it to anyone. It still might be interesting, but take it with a grain of salt.
You are oily and sly. You have been caught with your hand in the cookie jar.
Now it's 3 lies regarding just this topic....
Please leave and stay on SD or FE. They gladly have you while they ban the good members that call out snakes like you.
I'll be praying for you. For a real conversion. Desist with your hebrewcatholic.org crap.
I had forgotten that I had recommended that site to anyone. Once I was reminded, I tried to repair my mistake. I'm not sure why you have a problem with this.
Thank you for your prayers.
But that's part of the problem. You recommended it on FE just a week after people pointed out problems with it on SD. From Feb 24th to Mar 3rd. Its issues would have been fresh in your mind
then. Maybe you needed more time to realize they had problems, I'd give that benefit of the doubt. But to be honest you seemed familiar with them, not like you just googled them that day thereby making a mistake you later regretted.
Again, I don't know them so my main issue here isn't that you recommended them. It's the shiftiness. When someone calls you out here about promoting them, your answer isn't "Yes I did but I have changed my position." It's "No, I don't, you're misrepresenting me." Of course making that person out to be a liar, UNTIL someone pulls up proof, then we get the truth, that you in fact did/do recommend them, whatever the case may be. AND you recommended them outside of the particular context that you tried to say was being misrepresented.
It's just always shifting sands with you. If it happened once in a while it would be normal because it does happen to everyone. We change, we progress or regress, we misunderstand each other, we forget things, we're unsure of our position and contradict ourselves until we figure out what to stick with, it happens. But the miscommunication to the point of suspicion and distrust in your case is so overwhelming, it is not normal. Nor can it be chalked up to or laughed off as a simple personality quirk like you try to do. Oh I know people don't like me, haha. There's something truly off. It's not limited to a certain forum, to any stripe of trad or to any clique. And it's been years. The usual time it takes for people to get to know each other a bit better is passed yet it still doesn't help. It actually makes it worse.
Unless there's a severe communication problem (autism? I'm grasping at straws), I don't know what else it could be but a deep abiding dishonesty. God forgive me if I'm picking on you unjustly. I'm just at a loss at how improbable it is that such pervading issues could be innocent.
