I’m going on the attack in public. I might be out of line - if so, I’ll accept the consequences.

Early on on this thread I had some conversation with a freeper named Tamzee. A good freeper since 2003, but something just didn’t feel right about her accusations of FR attacking Mormons so I took a look at her posting history.

She posted quite regularly during the elections of 2004, but during the elections of 2008, she was mostly silent. She made 100 posts from Nov 2006 to March of 2008, then 100 more from March of 2008 to Sept 2009. She made 100 posts for the whole year from Sept 2009 to Sept 2010. Then she was absent except one post until April of 2012. I teasingly asked if she had been on a Mormon mission - but she stated she hadn’t been absent at all. Then she went silent again.

Don't worry....As attacks seem to be within acceptable limits here nowadays, I don't think you will be considered out of line. I'm puzzled as to how to respond, though. My instinct is to defend myself against this "attack" (your word) that I could be a Mormon. My faith calls me to proclaim to the world that I am not and, since I love witnessing my experience, I will do so gladly. I was baptized and raised Lutheran, and through a stunning personal miracle, experienced the direct and merciful hand of God intervening in my life. I am a born-again Christian and was baptized again as an adult in a Baptist church that I attend joyfully every Sunday with rare exception.

That said, it distresses me that a different religious background than this would be allowable grounds for an "attack", religiously or politically.
