...it comes clear that you have a central point and that is hatred for Mormonism and all of its adherents...

Well; you got 1/2 of it right!

But you are FAR over reaching common decency by saying she HATES the individuals who have been DECEIVED by MORMONism.

Well, as she names people and disparages them specifically because of their faith rather than their actions, I can't see any other position to take. Her point is not that these people are lamentably deluded, it is that these people are inherently untrustworthy and evil.

Ultimately, my complaint against Nana is that she is acting as a Troll. And, you will see that there is another complaint about her activities in this thread. Ultimately, your response has completely Hijacked the thread making it about Mormonism, rather than being about the proposed topic, whether Presidential Candidates should attend an event in Israel, no matter how important.

You unlike Tennessee Nana bother to substantiate some of your arguments, but ultimately, you resorted to baiting and spamming the thread. This behavior destroys the continuity and meaning of discussions. You are certainly welcome to your opinions and making them known but you are not welcome to abuse the rest of us in the process.

Tennessee Nana is guilty of a much greater offense as she offered a pure libel against the Mormon faith and specifically pointed this at Glenn Beck and Mitt Romney, making the fallacious argument of guilt by association as well.

Mormon's are very often staunch Conservatives and as such they are welcome to post and participate here, and they are due the expectation that people will not defame or libel their faith or themselves. The truth is an absolute shield for libel but frankly, the presence of a defined animus is what takes such behavior from boorishness to an offense that can be prosecuted for compensation in terms of cash. This is a direct threat to FR, as well as, providing examples of general craziness and bigotry that if we swapped out one religion and put in another it would be obvious that such statements cross the line.
