BliainanAir wrote: Why 3 threads to catholic bash? Boards has a lot to answer for. It has descended into farce this year with one sided moderation.

BliainanAir wrote: Boards has turned into a populist echo chamber. They're are some excellent moderators but way too many that the title seems to have gone to their heads and who lack intelligence, common sense and fair play and can't control their bias.
BliainanAir wrote: Some posters are let away with everything. It's obvious to most neutrals and why many stay away from political and social threads here.
BliainanAir wrote: » Last post here. It's really pathetic that a cohort of posters spend hours, days, weeks of their lives Catholic bashing, church bashing etc. What are you going to achieve on here? Absolutely nothing. This isn't real life...it's nothing. Really people need to assess why are they wasting their lives away. It can't be good for your mental health. It must be terrible for physical health spending so much screen time, possibly getting overweight through lack of exercise, bad posture, back pain. A very unhealthy lifestyle. It's imperative to engage with the real world. I'm off for a run. Take care folks. Enjoy the papal visit. It's a once in a lifetime.

BliainanAir wrote: » Before i leave the Belfast Rape trial received serious moderation, no one was allowed to assume anything before the trial. Major ban on any discussion. Compare and contrast with an allegation of abuse from the US about clerical abuse. Have we the same mods saying 'wait now lads, you can't say Francis knew of this or it happened, nothing has been proven'. The 'Belfast Rape Trial' was a trendy modern day 'event' mods were tripping over themselves about. The Catholic Church...say what you like, whether proven or unproven.

BliainanAir wrote: » It was spoken off as more than an allegation on here this morning, truth it was said! Compare and contrast with pre the Belfast trial. Say anything about Belfast trial...you'll be banned. Say anything about the catholic church. Proven or not. Fine, no probs. Enjoy your run Francie. Good to hear you're keeping fit.

If you’re running and able to reply on boards simultaneously, you might want to ratchet up the exercise intensity a smidge. Otherwise it’s useless and you might as take a leisurely stroll to feed the duckies.

BliainanAir wrote: » But you're post wasn't funny. Just incorrect. No rival bishop on Fr. Ted. Not funny, not right. Just silly. re. the highlighted bit, get real. He wasn't personally responsible and is trying to reform an institution which is badly in need of it and it takes time. Don't cloak yourself in the misery of others to look for a good man to be put in jail.
