Your #926:

See the paragraph before and the one after the one you quoted, and indeed the case I make in the entire post.

Should I have gone on longer to describe adequately the difference between free speech I happen to dislike and persecution?

I read your entire post. For the record, though, I'll repost the three paragraphs in question, which make make my case for me.
If you allow this sort of thing with the posters here the way they are -- and there is a great variety of poisonous bait like this at various anti-LDS websites -- it will be posted and reposted every few weeks, ignoring my replies, accompanied by fresh demands that I prove each detail wrong, and that it must be true in every detail if I don't, as though I had the time and resources of a historian dedicated to each of the many subjects brought up.

And of course the endless attempts to pass this persecution off as reasoned discourse, honest examination, and a willingness to examine the warts in the past.

It is precisely because of the very predictable ensuing discussion among the posters we now have and have had, that in allowing such material to be posted, you will see it an instrument of persecution, trying to flood the forum and drown everything positive out, concerning Latter-Day Saints, at the very time you are trying to have a better environment.
