On this thread it appears that you desire to live in a country that is totally Roman Catholic, that all non-Roman Catholic Christians represent an evil scourge to be eliminated from America.

"you desire" -- that's against the Forum rules.

and also false btw, it would be boring without a difference in opinion

The "you desire" would be "making it personal" because it is mind reading. However, because he preceded it with "it appears" - i.e. "it appears you desire" - it was an expression of his own mind and not a reading of yours.

Another example, "you are ignorant" would be "making it personal" but "evidently, you are ignorant" would not. Another, "you are a heretic" would be "making it personal" but "it appears you are a heretic" would not.

However, if the thread is redirected from the issues to individual Freepers then that would be "making it personal."
