Let's stay on track here. That statement...do you as a Trinitarian agree with it? How do you explain the equivocation where a masculine personal pronoun indicates a person and then later it designates not a person but a being. I'm kinda confused as to how Trinitarians can refer to Father as a HE (person) but then refer to the Trinity as a whole as a He (Person?) or to the Being as a He that is revealed as three He's (persons).
it seems that to some degree Trinitarians see the Trinity as a person on one level that exists as persons on another level....

The question was answered, just not to your satisfaction. I’ll say it again, God is one Being. There isn’t anything wrong with using personal pronoun when speaking about God as one Being. I don't think Trinitarians care either way because it doesn't change the doctrine. I think the problem is that Oneness are using their own definition for the word "person" and not what it meant when it was first used to describe the distinctions. It was about the same time period that the terms “modes” were coined.
