Forum Rules, #2 under Conduct.

This rule is:

Vulgarities are forbidden on this forum.  You are not "in person" here, so you have time to compose and edit your thoughts. Please exercise that ability.

This already represents a stricter rule against profanity than the way it was originally phrased.  At first, the rule was to avoid profanity.  Enough posters showed a lack of prudence in this area that the rule was changed. 

As we can see, a stricter rule has not stopped vulgarity on the forum.  Certain people will write this way unless they are forced to stop.

Oh fuck off.

What a disgrace. I have tougher friends than you that never curse. But somehow its a badge of honour to swear on this forum.

For a forum where something like 75% of ya claim to be Irish, to one degree or another, there sure is a lot of pushback on the language.

And swearing rarely has to do with being 'tough'

Exactly.

Swearing has nothing to do with toughness and everything to do with a darkened heart.

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, lust, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is the service of idols. For which things the wrath of God cometh upon the children of unbelief, in which you also walked some time, when you lived in them. But now put you also all away: anger, indignation, malice, blasphemy, filthy speech out of your mouth. (Col. 3:5-8)

Check mate Irish.

Thanks Vetus. Sorry Diaduit.


Pontificating from you has about as much clout as a raghead giving me tips on how to cook my next porchetta.

I think there needs to be a rule against attacking another's "mental" state/character.  In an age of feminism, I guess there is no sting to being called cold hearted and the like, so trolls don't seem to attack in this way.  But, there is an endless number of attacks on the mental state.  Basically, I am in favor of forbidding the accusation that another member is "mentally ill" explicit(and maybe implicit).  It is getting very tired, but it still seems to be the go-to insult.  It just another behavior to add to the list of bad behaviors that are common place here on SD.  How are we going to attract quality members when cursing and slander is the norm?

I'd like to see a child board of "Traditional Catholic Discussion" titled "Discussion of outside the Church there is no salvation (EENS)" for debates on the necessity for water baptism for salvation (to include infants/fetuses), Baptism of Blood (BOB) and Baptism of Desire (BOD).

What does everyone think about this idea?

[Philip G.]

I think Kaesekopf added a new rule to the forum.  Am I correct?

7) Private, personal information about any member which may be deemed as sensitive in nature by the moderating staff is to remain private unless it is willfully offered by the relevant party or parties in a thread. Sensitive personal information revealed in an alternate thread should remain there if it is not again freely offered by the party or parties involved. If you feel it is necessary to resurrect some personal information from a previous thread, do so via private message.

I agree. Just yesterday, a poster insinuated with no basis that I was a homosexual and also said that I had Antisocial Personality Disorder and Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It was wildly inappropriate and my ass is still chapped about it to the point that I'm considering leaving this place.

Stick around. Said poster was most likely projecting.

From the "Forum Rules":

A Definition of Feeneyism and the Forum's Stance Toward It:
"Feeneyism" is characterized by three errors: a misrepresentation of the dogma "outside the Church there is no salvation", that the doctrine of baptism of desire (and of blood) is optional, and that the Council of Trent teaches that baptism of desire is sufficient for justification "but not for salvation."  These three errors run contrary to the teaching of the Catholic Church.

Feeneyism is forbidden on this forum and promoting one, two, or all three errors of Feeneyism is subject to moderation.  While Feeneyites are welcome to post here in all sub-fora, they are not permitted to promote, spread, or disseminate information promoting any of the errors of Feeneyism.  Any posts or posters who do so will be subject to moderation.

Oh brother.     Ok, let me explain, one Gift of God.  Two apologies don't seem to be enough for you.   I said I "wondered" if you deal with homosexuality -- since you were talking on and on like you hate women. Don't be butt hurt.  Stay around.  I always enjoy a good re-hashing of the errors of Feeneyism (which Feeney himself did not believe).

I know that, which is why I am asking for a specific sub-fora. Another trad forum calls theirs the "Feeneyism Ghetto".

[christulsa]

What does not make sense is IF you knew the Rule in the first place, THEN why would you ask to make an exception for you?  You just joined here.

I made a nonCatholic discussion subforum and people get upset nonCatholic stuff is talked about over there.

So, no.
