No, you have not, because you have not provided a single example of Roman Catholics on your Catholic forum mocking Mormonism. Again, if it's as common as you say, then that should not have been difficult.

why me wrote:And if MDD did take the same tone toward other faith's you would be outraged and blame Mormonism for the tone of the posters since their tone would be a reflection of what they are taught in church.

No, I would not. Read in my last post what I wrote about how it's impossible for MDDB to outrage me anymore because I've already seen everything from them. You keep on praising the behavior of posters at MDDB while completely ignoring the blatant problems with its moderation. This forum certainly has crasser participants, but the moderation couldn't possibly be more even-handed.

Also, it is incredibly rare for me to blame Mormonism for the bad behavior of just a few. I almost always stress that I don't see the bad behavior of a few Mormons as a reflection on the entire religion. I certainly don't see your terrible treatment of me and my family and friends on this forum as a reflection on either Mormonism or Catholicism.

why me wrote:And this would be the position of many here: The sin of one is a reflection of the entire church.

It's not any position of mine.
