Here is my comment, which was immediately censored:

You know what?

I am a Catholic. I am also a writer.

If someone takes on my Catholic writing as "religious OCD", that is a clear violation of my freedom of expression, and of other people's freedom of information.

If people try, again, and again, to "try to break into my bubble" that I've been wasting my life for twenty years as a writer, that is a very clear sign of HOW this has been happening, and also a very clear DISRESPECT for my boundaries.

SOMEONE, not saying it is you, pushed YOUR video into my feed. I clicked.

People with your convictions are not welcome into my life.

People with your convictions who are not welcome into my life are nevertheless intruding time after time.

I try to get some discussion done, in favour of my position, in disfavour obviously of some alternative confession, or alternative view of what is correct Catholicism.

Today, I was doing that under a video by Trent Horn. Do I get a response by Trent Horn? No, not so far. Do I get a response at all? Yes. One which attacks my position in very general terms, and which was totally not adressing the argument I was making. In other words, filibustering to prevent me from either enjoying a discussion or draw conclusions simply from Trent Horn's silence. When I say "attack" I don't mean the tone is aggressive. But two things warrant the description attack.

1) It was a very complete disrespect for YEC.

Even so, it could have been a perfectly honourable and noble attack, I voluntarily expose myself to such on Quora. I enjoy taking people on with that kind of atheistic delusion of grandeur. However, it was such a complete disrespect, that it is nevertheless warranted to speak of an attack.

2) It came at a very inappropriate moment.

It did not come as an answer to what I was actually saying, it answered what I told someone else, it disrupted a discussion I was inviting.

When people of your convictions are both giving this kind of questions on Quora, and giving video suggestions in my feed, and when on top of that, someone is not satisfied with that, but will resort to dragging me from what I was doing, so to speak, into a "private" conversation, I consider that as the kind of harrassment shrinks could resort to.

And shrinks resorting to that are also very good explanation why the guys I'm trying to reach out to, both as audience and as possible partners for publication absent themselves.

Another explanation would of course be that I'm writing so lame nobody bothers to read me, but the statistics of my blogs speak a different language. Hence, that's not a thing I priorise as an explanation.

The person is the umpteenth empty youtube account that turns up on similar business. Pretty blatantly as if some imp of a shrink were well aware he or she is not welcome in my life, and nevertheless decides to not respect that.
