“There is a great lack of courage of conviction in anyone who claims that argument by others that one's Catholicism is defective amounts to abuse. That is certainly not the case.”
Not abuse? Well, I was suspended for three days by the Admin Moderator for saying that Sinkspur is “under the sway of Satan.” The Admin Moderator misrepresented that as “calling another poster Satan,” and refused to discuss it.
It would appear that “abuse” is defined as anything the moderators don’t like.
What next? If I say to Sinkspur, “Altar girls are a liturgical abuse,” will I see “Banned. Reason: don’t call other posters swine”?
I understand that FR is Jim Robinson’s private property and he can run it as he likes. However, if the way he runs it is that moderators can suspend people on the basis of false accusations then refuse to discuss it, it’s going to take a lot of the fun out of it.
And I have seen the Mods remove posts for "racist comments" when the posts only criticized Islam. I wonder why they have moderators who cannot tell the difference between a race and a religion. I have been told that what it is all about is offending those who have purchased influence.
I wonder.
Some posters seem immune.
