Nothing says "charitable" quite like mocking a permanently banned poster.

oh stop it ...mr piety man
I was mocking my self...where were you when this child was mocking religion for dozens of pages. That ivory tower have an elevator?

I'm surprised that he lasted 1500 posts before getting his ban.

He was a feldwebel from the beginning, and upon the realization of his inner feldwebel, it was time for him to go. Fortune! Fame! Feldwebel!!

That's different.  Atheists are allowed to mock whomever they like.  It's called a "double standard."

Well the Mods thought just possibly he might wake up...they gave him a great opportunity that he squandered.

Well, back on topic: I think Humility is good.

For the most part, I think crimson was sincere.  When he began posting more and more anticatholic thought and views, and seemed more and more firm in those ideas and views, it was time for the forum and him to part ways

She's not really worth reading.

As John Rogers wrote...
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

Fair enough, but even better....personally, I don't care if someone is "sincere" because if what they are saying is publicly harmful to the Faith of Catholics...it must be quickly stopped. Thank you, Archer, for stopping it!

Robert, my motives were hoping that he was authentically searching for the truth.  If he wanted to debate and discuss things he had in his mind and was open to conversion (which I thought he was), I saw no harm in it, especially since posters I trust and admire were engaging him in ways I thought were useful.

[voxxpopulisuxx]

he was no threat...all his arguments were handled soundly. And I hoped he could be reached as well.

I read Ayn Rand's "Anthem" in High School and I really liked her theme on the affirmation of the individual over the collective/egalitarian dictatorship; it was a very good critique and satire of the direction that Communism and its fellow travelers were attempting to lead humanity. I just recently re-read it again a year ago and I found it equally compelling. That said; individualism has its limits and finds its fulfillment in a well ordered society i.e. A Catholic society. Man is not sufficient of himself to provide for all of his needs both material and spiritual; but finds these inside of institutions that are part of a Christian order.  Miss Rand's atheism was a big obstacle in her way, not allowing her to see the "big picture''.  Fr. Fahey in his books where he praises the work of Mrs. Nesta Webster also cautions the reader that as good as some of her books are, they suffer from the fact that Mrs. Webster isn't a Catholic and is therefore also hampered from arriving at a complete understanding of the forces working to undermine and destroy the remnants of Catholic civilization and of the Catholic Church, in order to usher in the reign of the anti-Christ.
