His introduction:
If you're as opinionated and self righteous as I am, then leaving a disagreeable online comment or post alone is really hard to do. There's this irresistible compulsion to want to put that person in their place. It's not enough to be right, we have to remind people that we are right with an impressive demonstration of our reason and moral aptitude. If we can be honest with ourselves, though, those arguments never go anywhere. They never produce the results we were hoping for and if nothing else, they tend to put everyone, ourselves included, in a bad mood. So, with that in mind, I created a rule for myself to never get into arguments online. This video explains why.

Post a Comment
Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
