It was shown that the "caucus" protection must never be used to take potshots at the beliefs of non-members or as a tactic to disallow rebuttal to one's argument in an ongoing debate.

I respectfully disagree that the thread in question attacked anyone else's beliefs at all. It stated our beliefs.

I also respectfully disagree that my caucus designation on the thread in question disallowed anyone from rebutting, albeit in their own thread, leaving mine free from the onslaught of attacks that always appear in any thread posted by an LDS person regarding our beliefs. Anyone is able to create a thread so the use of the caucus designation could not be used as a "tactic" to stop them.

Apparently, reality isn’t your strong suit, PD. You also may want
to listen to Jim Croce’s music again. One of his songs may be
meaningful to you as you spit into the wind and tug Superman’s
cape...

At the expense of others.

Again you miss the point. Wait you don't miss it you ignore it.

Posting ANY LDS material short of a set of cookie recipes is an attack on real historic Christianity.

There is no debate on this. Mormonism is a proven fraud that twists the most sacred of Christian ideas into something unrecognizable and far less sacred, in fact it spits on them in many cases.

Saying “Oh you are not looking with a open mind/heart yada yada, or that this “opinion” or "you are being misled" or whatever while cute does not negate the FACT that the LDS are not Christian and their doctrine insults the savior, which in turn insults his people.

Christians are instructed to defend the faith and call out false teachers and prophets.

And their sycophants...

You know i misssed all this diologue what one can see with fresh eyes!

Sometimes just being PD is enough to attacked anothers belief.

This nasty spirit is prevace all over the planet.

It called Pride (the antis have enmity towards the LDS)

To some the pain is so great they need to get good off the map!

this was such a powerful talk I still recall today

Beware Of Pride

Pride is a very misunderstood sin, and many are sinning in ignorance.(See Mosiah 3:11; 3 Nephi 6:18.) In the scriptures there is no such thing as righteous pride — it is always considered a sin. Therefore, no matter how the world uses the term, we must understand how God uses the term,we must understand the language of holy writ and profit thereby. (See 2Nephi 4:15; Mosiah 1:3-7; Alma 5:61.)

Most of us think of pride as self-centeredness, conceit, boastfulness,arrogance, or haughtiness. All of these are elements of the sin, but the heart, or core, is still missing.

The central feature of pride is enmity — enmity toward God and enmity toward our fellowmen. Enmity means “hatred toward, hostility to, or a state of opposition.” It is the power by which Satan wishes to reign over us.

Pride is essentially competitive in nature. We pit our will against God’s. When we direct our pride toward God, it is in the spirit of “my will and not thine be done.” As Paul said, they “seek their own,not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.” (Philippians 2:21.)

Our will in competition to God’s will allows desires, appetites, and passions to go unbridled. (See Alma 38:12; 3 Nephi 12:30.)

The proud cannot accept the authority of God giving direction to their lives. (See Helaman 12:6.) They pit their perceptions of truth against God’s great knowledge, their abilities verses God’s priesthood power, their accomplishments against his mighty works.

Our enmity toward God takes on many labels, such as rebellion, hard-heartedness,stiff-neckedness, unrepentant, puffed up, easily offended, and sign seekers.The proud wish God would agree with them. They aren’t interested in changing their opinions to agree with God’s.
