So, your contention is that Mormons are the ONLY ones who ever took personal shots...
Anti is a descriptive term: –noun, plural -tis. a person who is opposed to a particular practice, party, policy, action, etc.
Before you complain and say a word was made up by us you really should look it up...
As for the name calling again, your contention is that it's all one sided? ROTFLOL
Honest debate about Mormonism, that's simple, Mormons explain what they believe, others decide if they are interested. Catholics should also be able to explain what they believe and see if people are interested, the same for Baptists, Methodist, Calvinists, and any other sect you can name.
As for an honest debate by people of different religions? well I don't know that it happens much as it would require mutual respect and personal honor. I'm not gonna hold my breath for it to happen.
I have answered numerous questions based on numerous comments that were made by numerous apostles. The problem is the answers were judged lacking by my opponents in the debate. I'll gladly debate you on anything as long as I get to choose when your answer was acceptable and I get to moderate the debate. That is what FR has become, and truth and fairness are no longer available here.
"Not only is it extremely cruel to persecute in this brief life those who do not think the way we do, but I do not know if it might be too presumptuous to declare their eternal damnation." -
Voltaire.
Voltaire also said "It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong." Which is where Mormons sit today, not that anyone here will agree, since you are the "establishment"
"If a watch proves the existence of a watchmaker but the universe does not prove the existence of a great Architect, then I consent to be called a fool." -

I love quotes, great minds putting things in such prose it's painful sometimes to read what anti's of all stripes say. Typically those who waste their time "opposing" would have been better served to spend that time on their education.
One last quote, "I never let my schooling get in the way of my education." -

You were the one complaining about the atmosphere, implying that if the non-mormons would just go away it would all be ok again.
But I noted that you didn’t mention the mormons attitude that contributed greatly to that atmosphere.
That is duplicitous and deceitful.
I was putting those descriptors out there as facts to support my argument. I see you came back with “LOL” responses which tells me you have none.
As to the debate question, your answer barely meets a recognized definition, but not the intent of FR.
In the context of the OTHER definitions provided, again; What would constitute honest debate?
