Some of us know why Matthew deleted my inquiry to Gladius.  Yeah, the usual circling of the wagons when the heat gets turned on.

Calumny or detraction can be committed in the form of a question 

And sometimes there can be justification for such questions, not for calumny, but for detraction.

The only reason to expose private sins to the public is "the common good". How was the the common good served by your recent posts?

What sins have I accused Gladius of?  If anything, he accuses himself?  cf. Matt 7:16
...
I know him.  I know what it's like.

So, what you're saying is, I was 100% right that there was an iceberg under the surface; you know Gladius from church or something, and you seem to have a major beef with him.

You aren't just having a random conversation on a message board, with Gladius being a mere member you disagree with.

My point: CathInfo isn't a backdrop or "setting" for your vendetta against Gladius (or anyone else). If you want to seek after someone you already know, with the goal of fighting with them, then do it somewhere else. If you know Gladius from church, work, or your neighborhood, go fight him IRL and leave CathInfo out of it.

In other words, whatever "outside CathInfo" source you know Gladius from -- go fight with him there. CathInfo is the place for working out CathInfo-generated strife (arguments, dislikes) only -- not strife brought it from outside.

. I was "moderating" the thread; a curious thing for a Moderator to do, I know.

Obviously, totally within your right to do so!

as a turd, i.e. a piece of shit.  He gets away with that common behavior apparently because he is the top dog 47 thousand plus mega poster boy on CathInfo.

Perhaps you could ask your friend Grok about the fact that calling someone a turd and a POS are entirely different things, radically different in their connotations, with the former referring to someone who's a nuisance, obnoxious, annoying, a troublemaker ... the latter depraved and wicked, rotten to the core.

So your strawmanning my having called you turd into pretending that it means I called you a POS is dishonest and slanderous.

But carry on with your turd-like behavior.

Nor is there anything close to resembling any equivalent between my calling you a turd based on your anonymous screen persona and the content of your posts, and you attempting to make attacks on the real person's character.  It would like equating you referring to me as obnoxious (here on the forum) and then you making the assertion that I'm a drug addict or adulterers.  Not even in the same ballpark, buddy.

You can find a zillion different dictionary references that include the meaning of turd to be a piece of excrement.  Excrement is shit in case you didn't know, but of course you do know.  You may or may not have been referring me to as a piece of shit.  I've been called a lot worse, but you may well have been and by what you have said so far you have not proven otherwise.  In any event, I'm not a mind reader like you and your buddy Gladius act on various occasions.  As the mega 47 thousand plus poster boy on CathInfo you have shown yourself over and over and over to be an extremely obnoxious and pretentious Mr. know it all character.  

Over the years you have obviously developed a real expertise at defending your proud reputation and by covering your posterior by smearing people when need be in the process.  You have been repeatedly called out by people for this, but it apparently has had no real effect on your proud childish behavior.

Just the other day you called me a "mindless buffoon."  That's typical for you.  What the ..... kind of language/name calling is that on a leading traditional Catholic forum that touts the unspoken rule of charity.  After more than 47 thousand posts on this forum you would think the mega poster boy -- and I say that for better or for worse -- would have learned to discipline his tongue a bit better, but no that is part of your standard mocking uncharitable fashion/mode that you resort to against your perceived opposition.  I don't expect anything I say here will make you any more civil, let alone charitable, in your carrying on on this forum.  Afterall, you remain on obnoxious overdrive after more than 47,000 posts.
