Nice try, but there's no need to tar me with the "mind reading is a form of making it personal" argument. I'm not making it personal and my comment isn't directed at any person, but is a general statement.

Here's the definition I was thinking of:

Jew-baiting n active persecution or harassment of Jews Jew-baiter n

So if one were to insert Mormon or LDS it would read, "LDS-baiting n active persecution or harassment of LDS Mormon-baiter n"

Now I am not mind reading, simply observing and drawing logical conclusions.

That's called science. Primitives don't ask why it rains. It takes a level of sophistication to make a hypothesis from observation. Next I'll test my hypothesis.

Persecution? Really? Who? How? When?

Sorry, but very actually few individuals are "persecuted" in the U.S. -- especially when you contrast that to what goes on 'round the world.

With some exceptions, it's been my experience that Americans who toss out that word lightly are spoiled brats who have such an ethnocentric view of the world -- they have little comprehension of what true persecution has been either geographically or historically.
