Work on your reputation and you may find more people willing to cross the aisle to meet you

As I said, I will take your admonitions, advice, and cautions in the same manner in which you have always taken mine.

I have no interest in the integrists "crossing the aisle". Many of them of them are certified kooks who continually ridicule the Pope, accuse him of outright heresy, or don't recognize him at all. They use every vile name imagineable, from "outright insane" to "Judas Priest." This forum has turned into the equivalent of a meeting of the Liberty Lobby.

Jim Robinson rid the political forum of the nutburgers who were dragging down FR's reputation in the late 90s and after 9/11 by banning posts from antiwar.com, lewrockwell.com, vdare.com, and all the contrails-and-Roswell websites.

The Religion Mod needs to do the same by filtering out The Remnant, traditio, novusordowatch.org (and its derivatives), and the Catholic Brigade, for starters. Your cohorts post from these sites for the express purpose of baiting, or using them as springboards to trash the Church.

I don't post to convince these people, as they are beyond hope. I post in response to show lurkers (of whom there are many) that there is a level of sanity on FR, and that not every Catholic on the Religion Forum despises the Church of the last 40 years.

If "my reputation" on FR is that I am not trusted by the integrists, then I'll proudly accept that reputation.

Re: "If "my reputation" on FR is that I am not trusted by the integrists, then I'll proudly accept that reputation."

Pity so many lurkers have admonished you over the 10 months or so that I have been here. I used to be a lurker and I must admit your conduct helped put me where I am. Keep up the good work, your doing fine.

And allow me to add what you edited out "I intend to do everything I can to make that happen". Mighty Christian of you deacon. All faiths and creeds are beautiful in the site of God and sinkspur except them rascally Traditional Catholics?

Unlike you I would love to see you return to the faith. Alas I will not hold my breath for it even if we are called to suffer. I will save that for a more promising catechumen.
