The post 506 issue has already been addressed.

The others are not childish insults and allusions.

For instance, the claim, true or false, that "Scientologists are dishonest is not a childish insult or allusion. However, the claim that "Scientologists are just like Nazis" and that "Scientologists are slack-jawed, knuckle draggers" are childish insults and allusions.

515: Papist fantasy and misrepresentation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“Papist is a (usually disparaging) term or an anti-Catholic slur, referring to the Roman Catholic Church, its teachings, practices, or adherents.” A childish insult.

561: “They’ve educated themselves into spiritual imbecility and blindness.”

Needlessly insulting; serves only to provoke.

519: “The tactic that I see at work here is that the FRoman Catholics are taking a beating and are now pushing the RF guidelines, hoping to get the thread locked…”

Mind-reading.

521: “I haven’t encountered a Catholic with enough honesty and integrity to ever TRY to understand…”

A childish insult, and probably mind-reading, in that the writer assumes that Catholics disagree because they lack honesty and integrity.

All-in-all, troublemaking.
