anti-Mormons attacks are much closer to bigotry than freedom of speech.

We don't want to go there. Trouble is, free speech must allow for things like 'bigotry'. Else, it isn't free.

Having class is another thing. People here should at least keep that in mind.

Said, people who join or act in any way 'cult-like' bugs me. (Said didn't need to be there, but I liked it better than 'That said')

Try posting Julius Streicher’s Jew baiting remarks and see how long you last.

Only in the PC world. Forget about “allow for it”. One must not stand for it. One must call bigotry for what it is whenever someone else espouses it. Baptist, Mormon, Muslim, etc. THAT is free speech.
