Catholic Bloggers Forum - Democratic or Catholic?

My dear bloggies, have a read of the message hereunder sent by the now retiring manager of the Irish Catholics Forum...is it not a little disturbing?? (SV)
Dear Member

The following is the text of a personal message
which I have sent to everyone.

I am emailing it to you as well in case you are
not regularly logging on to the Irish Catholics'
Forum:

We have a new co-moderator, CPM, and if he allows me
I hope to hand the forum over to him completely soon.

He and I have agreed to remove the threads where the
atheist posters were active and to bar the individuals
concerned. All registered members may now start and
reply to threads.

New posts will be moderated carefully and members who post
anti-Catholic ideas will not be allowed to remain. I think I
was wrong to allow so much freedom because this forum was
intendedto be a place where (mainly) Traditionalist Catholics
could communicate with one another.

I thought it would be instructive to hear the views of
non-believers but the atheist members were so vociferous
and sometimes so aggressive that it changed the overall
tone of the forum and may have put some Catholics off.

We have got a number of new members (possibly because of the
advertising in recent weeks) so there is hope for the future.

May I ask all of you to give a little time to re-energising
the forum under this new regime, in the hope that it will
have a future under the management of CPM.

Many thanks

Michael G
