I guess none of “you” can see that the “you” being discussed here is a collective “you” referencing all Catholics.
But then, why would “you”? All of “you” just like to go running off to mods at the mere whiff of anything “personal.”
Go blow your collective Catholic noses on your collective Catholic sleeves, and trouble me no further.
Pick a fight with a group, and then pretend to be aggrieved when they dare to respond?
“Catholics are not Christians and as such fall under the same admonition from Christ for evangelization that unbelievers outside the Catholic church do. No difference. They have not been born again of the Spirit and filled with the Spirit. So I am under no obligation except to proclaim the Gospel to them as I would to a Muslim, a Hindu, a Mormon, or anyone else in a false religion.”
“Go blow your collective Catholic noses on your collective Catholic sleeves, and trouble me no further.”
Truly tagline worthy, some real gems! If I was the one who formulated them, I’d be tempted to print them up in tract form, beat feet to the local Catholic parish parking lot and lay these impressive words of wisdom on the unholy windshields of the infidels.

If you were merely speaking in generalities, and at least implicitly admitting of possible exceptions, you might have a point.
But in your post to me, you say, “And none of you...”
The literal meaning, then, of your post is the same as “every single one of you.”
Which means, “including you, sitetest.”
And that makes it personal.
I don’t necessarily agree with the rules of the Religion Forum. Frankly, I think they’re inherently anti-Catholic. But I’ve said what I think bluntly to the Religion Moderator on a few occasions, and I try not to beat too many dead horses simultaneously in life.
Nonetheless, the rules are the rules. I see ‘em enforced against Catholics, might as well make sure they get enforced against non-Catholics.

IOW, it can have the same affect depending on how the reader reacts.
To avoid flame wars, look for an alternative to the universal "you."
your immaturity might have shown itself there.
You cannot speak in generalities about ALL Catholics.
That would be like me saying ALL men are wimps, and ALL women have nothing in their brain.
When you speak in generalities like this — it just shows that you have no specifics for the discussion — is that correct?
So move on, everyone, nothing of substance here as far as I can see.
