This is ascribing motive, the post 405 says “your overriding tendency is to treat them as monolithic” —> and besides attempting to ascribe motive, it is being personal. Instead of focussing on the issue, the post is ascribing motive

No, he is criticizing your argument, i.e. expressing his own mind.

For instance, if I said "that's a strawman argument" or "you're arguing against something that doesn't exist" or "you're treating my denomination as if it were a cult" - none would be attributing motive or mind reading. They would be expressing my own mind, judging your posts not you.

But if I said "you are just saying that to make me mad" or "you're making a strawman argument to change the subject because you have no real defense for that" or "you believe my denomination is a cult" - any would be attributing motive and/or mind reading.
