What you say here is so true:

“In short, OCATruth.com was a nest of snipers drawing out their prey with a steady stream of half-truths, innuendo, unsupported accusations, taunts (“C’mon Fr. Bieberdorff [sic]“), and invective.”

Case in point in the first sentence of this post of an OCATruth supporter:

This m.o. is deplorable, and not less so when someone is willing to put their name behind their writing.

I’ll say. It kind of creates a “false courage”.

Note that Muzhik has stopped posting there. I have all his posts saved on my hard drive. I advise you to do the same, Father. Just use the “save page as” selection in your browser. You have to go through every page to do this which is tedious, but it’s worth it just in case the entire site is rolled up and trashed.

I posted my take on all this today on my blog.
