My thoughts on this matter are that a number of Catholics on this forum have gleefully taken something they misread or misinterpreted that Quix posted without checking back with Quix for clarification and made themselves look like fools for attributing to him something he did not say.

While that may be true (or not) I do think an issue Quix needs to think about and maybe explain is why he posts as he does.

Communication is difficult. I personally happen to think that it is so difficult that success in communication is a wonder.

Again and again, people have told Quix that the visual aspects of his posts make hard for them to understand him.

AND Quix has almost his own language, with code words and, almost, neologisms.

And, again, people hgave said that this is difficult for them.

So. Imagine somebody who mumbles. And people say,, "I can't understatd you. I NEED you to make the effort to speak clearly."

If the person persist in mumbling, EVEN if that persistence is involuntary, he really had no right to complain.

I like to say that grief is the measure of love. If someone I don't know and don't care about dies, I'm a little sad, but I'll eat and sleep as well as I ever do.

But if someone I care about dies, it's a different thing, and I will be upset.

People, I suggest, get upset with Quix's difficult manner of posting because they care.

Some reasonable comments there.

Your: People, I suggest, get upset with Quix’s difficult manner of posting because they care.

NOPE. NOT MOST of the contentious ones. They only seem to care to have me obliterated from FR.

That would be fine if they had the capacity or decency to engage in the fray in a more or less equal give and take.

They do not.

I would be delighted if the RC side had a variation on a Quix. I would enjoy the colored fonts, the special language and terms, the humor, the satire, the mocking, all of it would be fun to me. I would consider it refresingly real dialogue and iron sharpening iron.

Instead, I have endless jerk-face posts 90-100% grossly distorting facts etc. etc. etc. as though what they were saying were truly factual when routinely it’s anything but factual.

It would be one thing if it was satire, humor, hyperbole, wit, skillful mockery etc. It’s not.

It’s just bitterness, anger, hostility, vengeance, KILL-THE-MESSENGER etc. ad nauseum.

Rain on em. That kind of attitude is not worth a bucket of puke.
