You definitely have picked the "side" of the imagined persecuted believer, but I doubt any person here actually hates you as a person. You know, you could sign-off the internet and go live your religion feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless, but that only brings respect and admiration and not the selfish (and probably unconscious) need for negative attention (the persecution complex).
What critics do tend to hate, if such a word is to be used, is the practice of apologetics, especially when that practice runs contrary to what the church leadership has consistently taught and what it currently teaches.
Believers do not have the right to define the Mormon experience for others.

Oh, sorry, I guess I confused your self-pity for martyrdom. My mistake.

That was Christ's words and quoted by my Father...get a clue. And why "seem to remember"...look it up.

Right. I guess wanting to feel persecuted is the depth then of your dialog.
Gotcha.

I don't scare or feel persecuted...sorry you are so wrong. But I am guessing you are used to it.
