Banned from FE... and proud of it!

[Ben]

Welcome to SD, Ben - hope you enjoy your time here!  Feel free to make an Intro thread in this subforum if you want 

Thanks tmw!

What does "tmw" stand for? Or, for what does "tmw" stand?

And which one is correct?

[Kaesekopf]

I saw your link here: http://catholicforum.fisheaters.com/index.php/topic,3456026.0.html

So here I am. I know of some of you. Others I may know of but your new names throw me off.

Welcome, Ben!  I hope you like it here.

"tmw" --> secret codename (hidden in plain sight of course) for when "Project B.A.G.E.L." goes into effect 

Alexander Pope spun in his grave upon your typing the former question, but settled down when you rephrased it in the latter iteration, so...

Whoa, those were some lame bans.  Good to see you here though tmw et al.

At least Vox let the link stand on FE.  If nothing else, I'm looking forward to another place to get my daily fix of 30+ yahoo news links

Good to know!

I thought "tmw" might stand for "too much wine."

[Kaesekopf]

Depends when you catch him....

[ServusSpiritusSancti]

Sorry you were banned from FE, tmw. Nice to have you here instead.

I had ceased posting there several months ago. Had I continued, I probably wouldn't have lasted long.

Too true, too true

Thanks, SS.  In retrospect, I'm rather surprised I lasted as long as I did!

[ServusSpiritusSancti]

I just noticed that I have been banned from FE myself.

I had not logged into FE in two months, and have not even posted there since August or September. I tried to log in today and it said I was banned.

Vox didn't give me a reason for my banishment, but I'm guessing she saw me say on CI not too long ago that she was soft on gays. That's probably why I was banned. She likely banned me weeks ago.

[Mr. Mysterious]

I guess there was a purge; curious to know who got the ban-hammer besides tmw...

The best part is that I was banned after a nearly three month absence for one day of snark.  Snark primarily against the modernist shill, Scriptorium - whose heretical NO nonsense masquerading as "Catholic" thought should be enough to make anyone with a decent Sensus Catholicus vomit a little into their mouth.  But taken in a broader context... in the fifteen months preceding the ban, I paid up a monthly subscription fee in the first twelve months.  As I went on a kind of hiatus following the (temporary) bans of several of my friends there in late September, I suppose I happened to make that fatal mistake of neglecting to pay up for protection.  And for what?  Playing on the absurdity of Scriptorium's posts?  Making the "Would this or that canonization make you go sede" poll in the Cornfield, which the site ownership has claimed is not even a "real" part of the forum?  I should think a year's worth of donations (totaling almost $150), three years of membership AND linking people to Amazon with the FE URL code (who knows how much that profited the owner) would count for something against a day of snark - twelve posts, if I recall correctly.  God love a certain physician from Mumbai who posts there  but the man literally told another user in graphic detail to snuff himself out and he is still on FE.  That incident has since been purged from the Cornfield, for good reason, but for those of us who recall the incident it illustrates an awful double-standard - as this poster happens to fall in the sedeplenist line, snarks accordingly, he is permitted.  But wo to the sedes!  As if sedevacantist Catholics are lepers...

At any rate, apologies to Spooky and the rest of you for the rant.  I don't regret the time I spent on FE - I made great friends there, many who have emigrated over to this forum.  I'm glad we now have a casual Trad Catholic forum run by a competent admin; if that's the only good that's come of all the craziness of FE, then I wouldn't have it any other way.

Give yourself a pat on the back.  Not only has that place  been infested and taken over by non Trads for some time now but it's known in some circles as "The JayneK Message Board."

If you look at the individuals who make up the majority of the financial contributors to that site, most of them are self described non Trads or those phony Trads who think that the Pope is irresistable among other issues (the only exceptions I can think of are Spooky and possibly Wholly Roamin' Catholic). They're the ones driving the agenda over there and don't be surprised if at some point in time that the Pope John Paul II Random Quote Generator vanishes from existence thanks to the Crybaby Collective.

Comfort yourself with this thought: when all the solid Trads bolt that site and it becomes nothing more than a version of Catholic Answers with the incense and chant, the ones remaining will turn on each other. Mark my words.
