The Sacred Sciences is not about personal opinions. It is about science.
Nothing I wrote was personal opinion. I have to defend nothing against spurious statements of those not interested in the intellectual discussions suitable for that board.
Not everything is a matter for "opinions". Treating every single subject, from Church authority to philosophical discussions as mere opinions is what the problem is.
The Sacred Sciences board is either fit for purpose or not. What is its purpose? Is it a platform for someone to publish again and again the personal opinions and anti-Catholic rants of someone who claims that the board is "not a blog" and refers to it as my "
precious sacred sciences forum", and
derails threads to promote his blasphemous and erroneous and illogical points of view, and apparently arguing from ignorance, as his knowledge is lacking while pretending otherwise, and disparages theology as "
lengthy theoretical verbiage"?
And there was a
defense of theology posted just for that as well.
It is time to ask:
is the forum fit for purpose? It is not at this time. It must be corrected or closed, otherwise, it is just a mockery of the sacred science (and logic).
This is the final defense against his blasphemies.
For the rest, it shouldn't be in The Sacred Sciences board at least, although, it is hardly suitable for any rational discourse among Catholics.
EDIT: This was about the board, The Sacred Sciences, and that is what I was referring to by "forum", but the same general question applies to everything really and a good way to review whether something is good or not.
EDIT 2: This is specifically worded to address the above poster, but the issue of people replying emotionally or without understanding is the issue in general. Whether it be a matter of discipline, understanding, or malice, the board in question is in need of quality control. Discussions there can only have so many disclaimers that are ignored before it becomes ridiculous.
