Actually, no, I'm/we're not.
Interesting...
And is it Trad to be a Troll? Well, yes. Trad was built on Trolling by Harris and me/us. I/we trolled his troll (by the seashore).
The new breed of Trads are all Trolls now by proxy as they defend the Trolls (Mr. Harris & my good selves, but under other names) & search out the real American Traditionalists, whom they call Trolls as they are critiqued by them, and do their best to marginalise them.
We real Traditionalist Curmudgeons should... (shan't say!)
See the game? We have a Trad forum where the real McCoy is labeled a Troll because all the forumites are so keen to defend the actual Trolls.
Twisted!
But I have a solution!
If the forum just learns about clothes then all will be fixed.
... You see the self-destruct in Trad in its current form is THAT built in. Ya gotta reform it & get back to reality or spin off deeper into madness.
Down with the false creed & back to the one true faith!
All of Trad's problems come from Harris. I've mererly highlighted them. Trad is a bad construct at the most basic foundation level built on lies and fantasies (which were what sold the construct to the punters). So, if you care about all this, make it into something real or become ever more ludicrous.
The Curmudgeons are the only hope over there.

One of the last things I said to Harris in '06 was What Next? A Back To Basics Movement? Because Trad was already so baroque & decadent by then. Riddled with false orthodoxies and inventions.
Now we're four years on... Is it now finally time for my idea from '06? The same idea I had in '04 when I first saw the sorry Post-Neo-Preppy mess that was being created.
I promise you that it will help.
Then we are the same after all!
Welcome.
Lots of talk about all this behind the scenes as you can imagine - More and more real American Traditionalists aren't buying Andy Trad. They want something with more Tradition, not all that made up stuff.
Progress!

It's not progress for Andy's bank account.
Well, in trying to help in course correction over there, I've been called both an attention whore and have been accused of being you, Russell_Street. Heaven forbid I have a little fun while I try to fix things.

Dear me.
I've never known why the Trads don't love me. I'm a fantastically intollerant uber-traditionalist.
Where's Quay today?
Dare I say that for the first time in its history the Trad forum is now on track?
There's still a little tidy-up to do but The Tradition now seems to be people's focus. Build on that & you can then also bring in all the off-shoots there (Preppy, et al). But The Tradition remains the core.
Ivy be thy name!
