I don't think it's fair to say that, Unix.
Were I to hazard a guess, I would suspect the issue lies not in their attempt to save souls(Since that would mean they would treat Buddhists, Brahmanists and Jewish people the same way). I would also suspect it is not because they are threatened(To be threatened would require that they think there is a chance they were wrong. While I agree that some, notably ex-members, strike back because they are threatened, I would suggest this is not the reason).
Instead, I would hazard a guess that it is a simple case of being offended. We are telling them they're wrong, plain and simple. There can be no running around the fact that the LDS church takes a bold stand, saying "We are right about everything." This, in turn, is also a way of us saying "You are wrong about everything that disagrees with us."
Considering that we disagree on the nature of the Godhead, that's a fairly large disagreement.
If I were to hazard a guess, I would suspect it would be akin to someone saying to you "Yeah! You're totally right about everything you believe, only it wasn't Jesus. It was Robocop who died due to the wickedness of man, then rose from the dead to bring righteousness and judgment to the world."
