Bill Donohue: Over the line?

Cathlic caucus threads go about 3 to 15 posts and die. There is inevitably prayers to all the angels and saints and no discussion of anything of substance, so they just fade out and disappear.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

And I DID note your not-so-subtle suggestions of racism by us, with the "no Protestants allowed" comment.

That is surely one of the more bizarre comments of the evening.

(May I call you Shirley?)

"Racism???"

I didn't know Protestantism was racially determined. Is Catholicism racially determined?

[LordBridey]

I'M NOT TELLING YOU WHAT YOU BELIEVE.I'M TELLING YOU WHAT I BELIEVE ABOUT YOUR BELIEFS, AND WHY I BELIEVE THEY ARE WRONG AND MINE ARE SCRIPTURAL.

LOL.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

As God wills.

[1000 silverlings]

hmmm....

[Judith Anne]

So, you’ve quit answering challenges to your veracity.

[Judith Anne]

Is that a problem for you? Some are simply meant for daily readings. They had to be caucused to prevent degeneration.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

So, you've quit answering challenges to your veracity.

As LordBridey said so eloquently...

LOL!!!

The rules state that we are to discuss the issues, but not to make it personal. Is that impossible for you?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Weird, huh?

[Fichori]

That did not happen.

I'm not about to dig around for them, and you're free to ignore whatever I say (wouldn't that be sweet?) but the other day a Catholic poster complained that Protestant posters were putting up threads about Catholicism and a half dozen other RC posters joined in outrage.

IIRC, Alex regularly gets criticized for posting threads with some connection to Rome.

As I said -- WHAT NERVE!

You mean this particular sentiment?

To: Religion Moderator

The problem is non-Catholic posters coming on RF threads with
troll posts, repeating the same anti-Catholic diatribes on every Catholic thread.

I would be happy to ping you to some.

We’ve posted here for how long? and I have no idea what race, color or ethnicity anybody is. Or even gender.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I notice you didn't address the fact that if you post more threads, you can improve that 10 to 1 ratio that is so bothersome.

So you agree threads posted by Catholics out-number threads posted by Protestants at least 10 to one?

And yet you're still complaining.

[Judith Anne]

The rules state that we are to discuss the issues, but not to make it personal. Is that impossible for you?

Asking a poster to back up highly suspect posts is not "making it personal." When the challenged poster changes the subject and starts quoting rules irrelevant to the specific challenge, it looks like they are unable to make their case.

But it's fine with me, if you don't care how it looks. And since you have gotten yourself a bit tangled, I think I'll say goodnight.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Pinging JudithAnne to your excellent post #470. That is certainly a good example of what I was talking about.

There was another post, however, that specifically complained about threads being posted by Protestants regarding various elements of Rome.

[1000 silverlings]

Is that a problem for you?

not as long as no one pings me and asks for my opinion. Praying to anyone other than God would be a problem

[Dr. Eckleburg]

lol. Icelandic. Green. Portuguese.

(I'm just kidding about the Icelandic and the Portuguese.)

[Judith Anne]

(Dr E:) Why should they complain about non-catholics posting non-caucus threads?

(Me)That did not happen.

Can you read? Dr. E is twisting words again.

Good night.

[Fichori]

Night! ;)

[Dr. Eckleburg]

That did happen, Judith, and we'll just have to disagree. Maybe someone else can pull up the comment. It's been said many times.

Do you really believe no Catholic has ever said Protestants shouldn't be posting Catholic threads?

[Judith Anne]

Do you really believe no Catholic has ever said Protestants shouldn't be posting Catholic threads?

Yes, I really do. Good night.
