Talk about hyperbole!
Look, I'm not complaining. It is what it is.
I'm just sayin'.

PP,
Toleration and a lack of condemnation of trinitarianism is not mutually exclusive with being "pro-Oneness"
I can only speak for myself (and have a hard time doing that at times!) but I am absolutely Onenes in view and wish that all of Christendom were.
However I do not believe one having a different view of the makeup of the godhead than I do precludes salavation unless that view is polytheistic and trainitarians are not.
That is the false bogeyman used to demonize them by many Oneness folks just as trinitarians have demonized Oneness folks by characterizing them as "Jesus Only".
A much bigger bother to me than our differences with trinitarians on the godhead is the formula for water baptism.
Although I am of the PCI view that baptism is subsequent to salvation and is a sacrament, symbol, etc, I still believe the biblical command is for it to be done in Jesus name.
So while I don't believe being baptized in the titles will deny one salvation I do believe they are not following God's word as well as can be done and we should all strive to follow God's words as best we can.
