Heh! I wouldn't remember if we discussed it two months ago, never mind two years. The thing here is that the Mormons have ramped it up by attempting a proxy baptism on a
living person who is a holocaust survivor and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize - very different from baptizing their great grandfather, Joe Blow, who died in obscurity 70 years ago.

Naturally, it won't harm the dead. The problem is that when the Mormons target specific groups such as Jewish victims of the holocaust, it sends an extremely negative message to the living.
