Nobody is stroking prejudice against Mormons. Key word on that thread was organizations. Plural. Not singular. Organizations have marching orders that don't originate ex nihilo.
Shrug. Of course, it is not as clear-cut as that, though we would like it to be so. People can intend to criticize an organization without harming the people in it, but that criticism can potentially harm the members. We have to exercise judgment, do our best, and live with the results. It is not black or white but shades of grey, and in my view anti-Mormon ministries are on the whole doing more harm than good. They contribute to a culture of hatred and division.

Some people don't live long enough to distinguish between these shades of gray you want to throw cover over. Be ashamed Kish. Issue an apology for your lack of communication and outright meandering attempts to be the peacemaker you think you are.

I am ashamed for your intolerance. That’s about it.

Sure! But I am not hounding you. You have been hounding me and making silly demands. Maybe the better thing for you to do would be to stop.
