What would the reaction of Protestants be if Catholic ping list holders picked a Protestant thread and the entire thread 1000+ posts over several days was consumed with Catholics arguing that sola scriptura, sola fide, etc. was totally wrong and heretical? What would the reaction be even if this had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the general topic of the thread? And if such a thread exists, could you please provide a link?

Good question. As I've said before, I rarely visit the "Protestant" threads, except to read. I have posted a few times in the past, but most of my time is spent on "Catholic" threads.

I would probably, in the words of my mother in law, "take the gas pipe" if I had to moderate here. :)

Quite frankly I don't think I've seen more than a couple of protestant threads in the last few months where that has not happened. Nearly every Protestant Thread is eventually visited by the Catholic Swarm at some point and then the thread devolves into another mostly catholic thread. Then after the Catholics hijack the thread, they complain that it is the protestants who are attempting to hijack the thread.

It is a viscious circle. But we don't complain. We welcome the Catholic Swarm.
