DU, a "church" or religion is not a "person"...a church or religion is not referred to as "you".

The mind-reading rule simply does not apply to an inaminate object, no matter how "personally" a member of said object wishes to take a remark.

An inaminate object cannot be affected or suffer "personal" harm from alleged "vicious, scathing, unreasoning, unreasonable and pathetic attacks" because it is an object, NOT a person.

Insisting that mhgintn's remarks.(whether a correct description of mormon doctrine or not), are "mind-reading" is simply wrong.

Yeah, I got that, it is also Disingenuous for me to say the Catholic perspective is ... Because I'M NOT CATHOLIC! Get it? You cannot offer a perspective you don't have, that's mind reading. The RM said it was mind reading by Warning MHG to stop.

Wonderfully stated Opinion, the facts of the matter are different however. In animate objects do not have perspective, only animate objects do, so by offering our "perspective" MHGinTN was involved in mind reading on a grand scale.

I am not an inanimate object, I said that I had suffered these kinds of attacks... nice try.

Insisting that mhgintn's remarks.(whether a correct description of mormon doctrine or not), are "mind-reading" is simply wrong.

MHGinTN did not merely describe doctrine, he offered perspective which an inanimate object cannot have, the RM told him to knock it off without even being pinged.

Offering a perspective for someone else (or for a church you don't belong to) is mind reading.

This is ridiculous, you are arguing an interpretation of just how close to the line of mind reading you can come, the RM has spoken, be gracious, it's Jim's house...
