Are you ignorant or just plain mean?

Okay I confess. Here goes...........

I am a topix junkie!!
I have been spending time on the topix forum lately and have spent quite some time on the post about the FLDS polygamist group in texas.
I have made other LDS friends there who like me are trying to educate people about our faith. Okay I say educate but its probably more like defending.
When someone is ignorant about something thats okay. Aren't we all ignorant about something? I'll be the first to say yes I am.
However some of these people are just plain MEAN. Like this one chick who repeatedly compares Warren Jeffs to Joseph Smith. It seems as though she is doing it on purpose.
okay well like the first three times I gave her the benefit of doubt but after that it was apparent that she is not there to learn but only to bash or misinform others.
The sad part is I feel kinda bad for her. Why is she so mean?
She isn't the only one either.
Some though are apparently trying to learn more and are happy to admit that they are ignorant about the faith.
Its nothing to be ashamed of.
By the way my name on topix is not ashamed. Get it?
There are many anti-mormons on that site who really believe they are trying to save our souls.Thats why I try my very best to respond to them with love. But I think it really irritates them because it makes it harder for them to be mean to me.
Its all gravy though they think they are witnessing to me but I know the truth.
