Many of us LDS Freepers are often dismayed by the efforts of some of the anti-LDS contingent (which is very vocal but small, & many of which tend to be the same cabal in the anti-Catholic threads as well), but I am one who thinks the “anti” crowd tend to hang themselves here w/ their activities. The “by their fruit ye shall know them” type of thing.
However, it would seem as though this thread could have been avoided by perhaps more thorough investigation. Unless there's more info you have in your possession about the exodus & potential threats against FR brought on by LDS freepers, than one guy w/ a site, then this would seem to be much ado about nothing. A simple FM to any number of us would have put this to sleep w/o causing the potential firestorm.
I, for one, come here for info that has absolutely nothing to do w/ religion most of the time(other than perhaps the battle for the freedom of from time to time). This is your site, we play by your rules. No conspiracy to do otherwise. Next time, please feel free to FM me or others here so we can avoid this kind of very unfortunate type of thread.
Reno, as you catch up on your reading of this thread, you’ll find a lot of evidence that this guy greg west (aka spamlds) came over as a troll and now using FR to try to expand his social network beyond the 80 or so followers he has.
I am really annoyed by this fram and spam group because of their misguided selfish interest they have really set back out goodwill here on FR.
Huh. Thanks. I just read your post, which was posted right after my post #343.
As I said, it would be counterproductive for Mormons to attack FR; better to put up with the occasional insult, which all of us suffer from time to time. We all have our differences, Protestant and Catholic, libertarian and social conservative, but we can try to work together for the common good.
