Because the revelation of God in the Catholic Church is the only thing in the world that actually matters. And the so called 'traditionalist' movement is the only functioning vehicle that exists at the present moment to restore it to its proper place. So when I see 'trads' doing stupid things I tell them, man.

"Doing stupid things" in your opinion, which is not infallible (or is it?)

When I see Catholics who call themselves 'traditional' saying and things that undermine the very source of the traditions they claim to love i.e. the Septuagint which is the source of both the Latin Psalter and many of the liturgical texts of the Mass that have been prayed in the West since the Roman Empire I think that can be objectively called stupid, yes.

Okay, but do you have to be such an insufferably pedantic know-it-all about it? But surely you're not like that in real life.

To each his own. As to being pedantic the devil is in the details. The destruction of Catholic civilization came through undermining the (seemingly) small details little by little because people couldn't be bothered to defend them until the foundation became so weak that the structure couldn't hold anymore.

There are a lot of people who know much more about all of this stuff than I do and who have a infinitely greater ability to communicate it but for some reason they're not doing it.

Let's hope they take up the challenge and get into the battle.
