It is what you have said (and how you have said it) while ignoring everything that didn't fit in the "Catholics are being picked upon" meme which is the childishness I was speaking towards. That, and the childishness of your posting insulting comments such as
- How about you run down to your local Catholic church and harass them there
But yes, this whole scene has over the years, driven off many people from FR.
Let's not blame that all on "protestants", when if there was not non-stop promotion of, and discussion of Catholic-centric issues here on FR, sort of a non-stop barrage of "in your face" with it, there would not have been some amount of blow-back. Many, or perhaps most of those issues could be better (and more peaceably?) discussed on forums elsewhere on the internet, rather than here at FR. Since they have not been, then gird ye' your loins for public discourse. Or -- stay out of the "religion" forum, as I suggested to you.
The perpetual whining, and now again the complaining about forum administration, is pathetic.
What the perpetual whining about the blow-back appears to me to be is, that there are more than a few who seeking a "safe space" here on FR to discuss Catholic (only!) issues, yet have that discussion take place smack dab in the middle of everything else, at the same time.
It's like there's an ongoing take-over attempt to subvert (and take control) of the forum, as much as can be accomplished. Those ends were not the primary aims and intents of this forum at it's inception, although there is a place for "Catholic' concerns also, among those same aims and intents.
Nonetheless, the whole whiny, pathetic, "FR is unfair to us Catholics" meme reminds me a great deal of the Professor Melissa Click's of this world;

When "administration" does not immediately accede to demands for "safe space", free from any comments not to some 'Catholics' own personal liking, and that space be reserved right smack-dab in the middle of town square, then administration (the forum moderators) are demonized, right along with those who would dare to disagree with a this, or that, that some 'Catholic' freeper may choose to say...on the religion forum.
So grow up, or go away, Lil' Flower. My, my, aren't you a special one of those! Don't come here "fighting", posting criticisms of your own, and insulting insinuations too, while moaning and complaining about unfair it all is.
