You know BYU was being "bashed" up & down by athletic teams they played between 1968-1978. Some refused to schedule them. Over a dozen black Wyoming football players got kicked off the team simply because they wanted to wear a silent protest of a black armband.
Why? Because of BYU's/LDS' racist policies in place until 1978. Now if your highest ideal is not to bash, then I suppose you would have been on the frontlines of Mormonism, defending their racist policies at that time.
But if your highest ideal is truth, something that love is supposed to rejoice in (see 1 Cor. 13:6), then you're not going to engage in reductionism & define truth-telling as only "bashing" -- because, simply put, some ideals (being against racism; being against idolatry -- elevating competing gods) are worth espousing despite the P.C. label of "bashing."
And, BTW, if you're so "anti-bashing," then why are you continually referencing other as "bashers." (Isn't that "bashing?" by your def?)
Oh my! It seems your shorts are all in a bunch. LOL!
