We have your number Scratch. We know your tactics. We know your game.
Who's "we"? Certainly it's not any other TBM on these messageboards, as the BoA-MAD disaster proved.
Want to bet that Coggins does not even know why Quinn was excommunicated?
Quinn was excommunicated for his continued confrontations with the Brethren and his anti-Church writings.
Source? Oh yeah, that's right---the Church does not announce why people were ex'ed. All we have to go on is Quinn's own account, and according to that account, Quinn was ex'ed for insubordination.
(Interesting how Cogs is changing his story now. First Quinn was ex'ed for homosexuality, and now it is for "confronting the Brethren. Can you say 'flip-flop'?)
This is an interesting read for another reason: some of Quinn's claims regarding the Church and its internal culture, border on or cross the line into paranoia.
No quote?
This is something that I actually didn't expect. It appears that he has continued moving farther and farther to the cultural Left as time has gone on, and that his homosexuality is only one integral feature of his overall hostility to the Church, its culture, and its teachings. So in that sense, I'm probably wrong about homosexuality being the sole reason for his literary output being as it has been.
Still more babbling from someone who hasn't bothered to put in the serious time reading the texts. Move along; nothing to see here.
