Areas of agreement we may largely share:

• for the most part, Catholics do not swarm onto distinctively Protestant threads by Protestant original posters. Not to the extent of racking up 500 - 800 volleys.
  
• there's such as thing as charitable and rational critiquing, which is to be distinguished from
• what's more properly called "bashing"

I, like you, ealgeone, can enjoy a good discussion (and a hat tip to you, daniel1212, for going to sources). I try to keep in mind "bear wrongs patiently, forgive all injuries," but I do not tolerate being told I am a liar and a blasphemer, that I am frothing-drooling-spitting-pussing out diabolical obstinacy-delusion-deceit-madness.

I think tolerating personal calumny is wrong, because it may lure the offender into ever more reckless sin. Dishing or tolerating abusive language is certainly the opposite of the edification of the minds and souls of those whom, in Christ, we love.

Do I read you right? You believe Christians should tolerate heresies and blasphemies and not defend the Gospel as offered in The Word of God?

But where do you see a Protestant article such titled "Mary is not the Rope Jesus Chose To Reel Us In?" And while a thread like "Becoming Catholic" also can see hundreds of responses, where do you see any threads by Protestants that present their church as uniquely being the one true church, with distinctive doctrines? ,

The Mormons who did that here also saw multitudes of Protestants replies, as such a elitist claim is worthy of censure, yet traditional Catholics present themselves as victims while promoting and defending their arrogant claim and teachings that do not rest upon the weight of Scriptural substantiation for their veracity. Yet unlike the Mormons, it has been Protestants who have been censured from posting articles attacking Rome, while they have attacked Protestantism.

Well, not all of that.
