For example, not every Mormon, or even non-Mormon, would realize that the vitriol often found in your posts is usually inaccurate or heavily biased though you propose it as "facts about Mormons".
If it were not a public one I doubt that I, and other observers, would have even noticed it since we do not spend our time within the Mormon religious bubble and yet there it appears . Glad to see that perhaps you are reading my posts. You are perfectly free to respond to my claimed inaccuracies as you see fit...I usually try to keep my posts and opinions on topic rather than resorting to the personal attacks on the messenger that those with differing opinions so often resort to when they run out of arguments. Glad, too, to know that as opposed to me you have no bias whatsoever.[/quote]

For example,
what you offered so far is speculation and without support or evidence at a reasonable enough level to consider it as an argument. If you have sufficient evidence that would allow for one to reasonably conclude that Mormons "cry out" publicly for acceptance, then i would appreciate reading that evidence.
