The Catholic bashes on the religion forum are well aware of your point.

This is just typical of the hypocrisy endemic to this religion forum as “mind reading” (by definition, as Catholics have repeatedly clarified the Church’s position) is specifically prohibited, yet allowed for the bashers.

Further, how this kind of provocation is NOT considered a “personal attack” as all Catholics on this forum are persons, just goes to show the situation you’re dealing with.

If one reads the RM's guidelines on what is or is not a personal attack one would understand the difference.

But as the RM notes regarding open forums:

Posters may argue for or against beliefs, deities, religious authorities, etc. They may tear down other’s beliefs. They may ridicule. “Open” RF debate is often contentious.

It requires thick skin. A poster must be able to make his points while standing his ground, suffering adverse remarks about his beliefs - or letting them roll off his back.

Members of religions which are as much culture as belief sometimes take religious debate personally. If you keep getting your feelings hurt because other posters ridicule or disapprove or hate what you hold dear, then you are too thin-skinned to be involved in “open” RF debate. You should IGNORE “open” RF threads altogether and instead post to RF threads labeled “prayer” “devotional” “caucus” or “ecumenical.”
