Hi Cats,
As you can see I have created a copy of the Cat for you to continue to bicker, argue and occasionally make a reasonable point.
I do hope a solution is found with the original Cat but just in case Sinc doesn’t want to transfer the site to a new generation I have built a replica before the closure so we can migrate as many of the community across as possible.
Programming Note: I rushed out the site so there will be bugs. I can get them fixed but did not want perfection to get in the way for progress.
Community Note: Please let as many cats know of the new blog as soon as possible so we can capture the magic of the original. In particular would love for the original posters to continue their great work here.
Ideological Note: I am an infrequent poster but long time reader of the Cat. The discussions there have been a huge part of my own ideological growth on many issues. In particular free speech is key for me so will have a very similar light touch to the original Cat, potentially adopting my one policy on an earlier forum I built: “No D***heads” which is subjective but surprisingly easy to implement.
Website Note: I will run the Cat as close to possible as the original because I don’t believe in re-inventing the wheel. However if the community so wants I am happy to make changes to improve the experience so if you have any ideas let me know. For anything specific hit me up at the contact form, else go nuts in the comments.
You are doing a great job here Adam D, but don’t let the cranks, weirdos and ratbags take over civilised discussions.”
Wot Pedro said!

“It’s amazing what can be found when money is at stake. I wonder how many ASIO ‘informers’ are members of the group.”
Good call. It’ll turn out to be a woke clown show version of the anarchists in GK Chesterton’s “The Man Who Was Thursday”.”
Ah but that was only a nightmare. “The Man Who Knew Too Much”, is more of the real horror of waking life –
“”In awe of Fisher’s grasp of the facts, one character tells him, “Fisher, I should say that what you don’t know isn’t worth knowing.”
“You are wrong,” replies Fisher with a very unusual abruptness and even bitterness. “It’s what I do know that isn’t worth knowing.”
He would be much happier knowing less than he does. He is weighed down with the burden of knowing “the seamy side of things,” the stinking corruption in the high places of wealth and power. He drags himself languidly from one amazing, appalling event to another, pulling corpses out of cars and wells and summing up the situation with a cool disdain. But he can never report the crimes he solves because governments may fall, reputations may be ruined, aristocrats may squirm. We can get the truth out of Horne Fisher, but not justice. It is because he has a problem: he is himself a complicit member in the criminal governing class. […]

Not greatly enjoying having to retype all the info rack comment.
Not a fan of the anti Jewish stuff.
Not sure how you police it though as some people choose to see any attack on Soros as a coded attack on Jewish people.
And just as unfortunately some anti semites will use it that way.
I suppose you are stuck with just trying to pull up the worst of it and hope the person posting get sick of it being removed and goes away.

” I listened to you late-nite the other week banging on about your ‘special knowledge’
tell us all again how rt-PCR is useful for determining viral load”.
Didn’t claim any such thing. Merely said that Delta variant required far fewer PCR cycles than Alpha variant. Tendency for it to have a high viral load in samples,which fits with its demonstrated high rates of contagion.
Interesting that the CDC is quietly going to ‘phase out’ this mode of testing.
Not surprising.

“O.K. you’ve named “Anne”, who isn’t here, and “Graeme Bird” who is here as, I don’t know. ”
Graeme Bird is here in his iteration as The Mushroom Whisperer. Anne’s comments and especially her links are an exemplar of the sort of Qanon lunacy Sinc deleted. She is not here now.
I am not big on banning anyone. But I think Qanon stuff is unworthy to be placed on the Cat, and all hints of anti-semitism are despicable. That’s my stated view and others can agree or disagree and put a position to Adam about maintaining the past integrity of the site or letting it become a total bedlam of craziness. This is not Karen-ing or anything like. It is moderation for site protection.

Faster, better, cleaner, more secure access to information … we were told we could do our paperwork online, save ‘trees & resources’=Costs, and quickly access information we need to know in order to be competitive.
There are a number of real world contradictions there, but most couldn’t see past, ‘easier, quicker & cheaper ways to WIN!’.
Few wanted to even consider, let alone dive deep into the many hidden costs; giving up all privacy, being the least of them.

SRR, Sinc axed you. I was hoping that you were coming back in here as a level-headed commenter with much to say about your family’s difficult times in post-war Europe. That was always interesting stuff. It would be sad to see you as a flag-carrier for some very dubious conspiracy theorists. JC has argued against your points. Prove him wrong.
I’m prepared to wait and see what you settle down with. Good arguments I will always listen to, and new perspectives too.”
Lizzie, “Sinc”, banned me, when I wasn’t even here. I didn’t break any rules, I simply, successfully, countered the BS that the likes of Notafan & JC kept putting in my mouth when I posted on topics their circle didn’t like mentioned, such as (seeing as you lot are playing that old game again), the MSMNews reports of massive busts of International Child Sex Trading Rings (that Australian goodies & baddies keep playing a large part in), but that the Cat’s regular CONtroll freaks kept indignantly demanding shouldn’t take up the Cat’s precious pixels & so would swarm to slap, “PizzaGate” Labels on. Their decree of, ‘A Dead Topic To Cats Wanting To Remain Alive On The Blog’.
And here you are, just like back then, putting the words & imaginings of others to my name and telling me I deserve to be banned if THEY KEEP DOING IT.
It’s all word spin that a mob will always beat an individual at, which doesn’t really mater to Christians because we know our Lord deals with us all on a One to one basis.
