    I had always wondered who Ben was.  Very sad to see him go.  I'm not sure if I was always on my best behavior towards Ben.  HatchC, if you are, sorry for being a jerk sometimes.


    You treated me pretty well. I was purposefully confrontational over there so I didn't expect people to handle me with kid gloves. No big deal.  :cheers:

    No, Hobble just ceased posting one day.

    As to why he prefers SD to CI, I think I know why, but I am not going to detail the reasons.

    Hatchc, if you don't mind me asking, did you post on SD as Ben?


    It appears he hasn't posted on SD for a while so maybe he doesn't like that forum either anymore.

    Yes, I was Ben over there.


    Good to see you!

    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

    I'm curious as to why you'd purposefully be confrontational on a trad forum.  Isn't that somewhat dishonest?  Is that a charitable way to post?

    Pales in comparison to allowing Protestants to spew heresy and defending liberals over Trads like a certain administrator of a certain forum does.

    Just curious, is Teilo and a Half Hobbledehoy? He hasn't posted since March 31st and I notice Teilo posted lots of those pictures over there that Hobbledehoy posted here.


    Yes, he is.


    Hmm I missed that. Did he have a dramatic exit from this forum on some thread? If so I can't find it. Do you know why he prefers that forum to this one?


    There is a thread in the anonymous section where he talks about changing to conciliarism. That's the closest there is to a dramatic exit.


    I can't say I'm surprised. I never noticed him posting on controversial issues like Telesphorus does, which is usually a bad sign.

    That's not what I asked about.  It's funny how you assert unbiased traditionalism and yet employ liberal logic.

    Catholic:  "Why do you cohabit with your girlfriend.  Doing so is mortally sinful."

    Liberal: "Pales in comparison to murdering people.  It's not like I'm doing that."

  • Speaking of "dishonesty", it's a bit dishonest that the owner of SD tries to portray himself as a fan of Bishop Williamson when he clearly is pro-Fellay.

    Why don't you call him out on that, Walt?

    I'm not really here to discuss what KK does or doesn't think.  He can speak to that himself.  What I do know is that all of the moderators like Bishop Williamson, even if the extent to which they agree with him varies.

    Some like him more than others.

  • Some people draw the line at the normalization of ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs.  They find themselves marginalized.

    Some of them are the very ones who were active collaborators in the process of marginalizing others who held to traditional positions.  

    A lot of trads despair over the pathological behavior of the trad movement, and find certain arguments (which ultimately depend on glossing over the problems of an apostate hierarchy) a compelling excuse to become indultarians.

    It's very unfortunate.  It becomes easy to see how the liberals have won so much, when one sees how often trads are at each others throats.

    Because it's not a trad forum.

    Glad to see you here, Mr. Blah!

    Yet only one actually supports him.

    That's a problem.

  • Walty, you and Jaynek can't justify SD's liberalism no matter how much you try, I'm afraid.

    So you admit that it wasn't charitable?  So you can be dishonest so long as it is not to or around traditionalists?

  • Walty once said he'd like to come to this forum and troll. This was shortly after the Laura affair when he thought Fisheaters was going down for good. He was partially jesting, but still. His attitude towards this forum has always been one of contempt. So I think he can understand why I would have a similarly contemptuous attitude towards SD. It's not like I hid it. I was genuinely surprised I lasted as long as I did over there. I assume they just kept me around to generate activity on a budding forum.

    I might troll over there again in the future.

    I didn't come here to justify anything and I somewhat rarely agree with Jayne, so I don't know where that sentiment comes from.

    But all of this proves that trad forums have a predilection for speaking about posters instead of poster's ideas.
