I think that this comment is used by some because of a stereo type of Reformed believers. Whether that stereo type is true or not, it rings true with a majority of Arminians.
How many Reformed folks have come to your door in an E.E. visit or invited you to Church? How many have shared Christ with others? I can tell you that I have had many Baptists (none Reformed), many pentacostals, and of course, lots of JW's and Mormons come to my door.
Not once have I been invited to church or had the gospel shared to me by a Reformed type.
The closest I have gotten to any Reformers outside the four walls of my home was a Reformed Baptist at work who gave me my First Copy of the London Confession.
