But I am not going to join any bloggers guild because:
1. I am not convinced of its charism - sounds (sorry, reads, looks) more like a nice club for the likeminded.
2. I do not see much point in another forum for traditionalist, or traditionally minded, Catholics to talk to themselves all over again.
3. The language of "guild" and "confraternity" - aghh, so
The story of Blessed Titus Brandsma is, from what little I know of it, quite fascinating. [Note to self: actually read the book about him on the bookshelves!] A charism associated with his name, though, should not be limited to blogging. And I would find it unfortunate to see his charism being appropriated to an essentially traditionalist cause.

Have to agree with much that you say!

I had intended to keep clear of this topic, but was prompted on to it by your own post, and suggested personnel.
Looks like we're in danger of having an "no-guild guild", if three of us are thinking the same thing!
Joe, I agree. Something rather worrying seems to happening of late with some blogs. This apparent attempt to gather together the like-minded into some sort of blog-ring is dangerous. I also would not join anything of that kind but then some "traditionalists" (I do not say all of them) would not want me anyway
A thought: perhaps, in the spirit of events at the John Snow, we should organise a "blog-in" to coincide with the planning meeting that some will be attending?
