I always felt Mormons took a lot of heat here, BUT they got a fair, honest and OPEN forum to state their views and beliefs.
In fact it was more than OPEN. Mormons, among other groups like Catholics, can and did post in protected forums (devotional/caucus)where their theology could go unchallenged and unrebutted. That IMHO is bending over backwards and a credit to FR.

I don’t know what that site is or who started it but I am disappointed that someone would think practcing LDS would behave like the anti mainstream.
very hurtful and disappointing what is one who is LDS suppose to think when they read something like this one don’t donate $50 to a site they are trying to bankrupt!

restornu, as you and I have sparred on Romney threads, I am relieved and happy to see this response. :^)
Reading further in the thread, I see that it hurts your feelings to be painted with such a such a brush as to underwrite a bad deed bent on sabotaging a good thing like Free Republic. But pardon me if I misunderstand, isn't being a tithe-paying Mormon a bit like being a member of the Teacher's Association or the RNC, where the money goes where they choose, even if you oppose?
I share your frustration, though ... it's as hurtful as being painted with the brush of religious bigotry and "hatred" that, as we both well know, pro Romney people are very apt to do to folks like me on Free Republic in threads that seek to thrust Romney onto the GOP stage.
And just what do you MEAN by the comment behave like the "anti mainstream" restornu?
The "antis" of FR engage in open debate by providing information directly from LDS official websites, news sources and personal experience with the mormon church.
There is no need for the "antis" to sneak around and set up websites to try and disrupt FreeRepublic.
We debate on "open" threads and have no need to hide behind closed "devotional" or "caucus" threads.
This is not the first time that those who post rebuttal to mormon proselytizing on FR have been attacked with threats of donations to FR being withheld.
I suggest, restornu, that before you make your claim that "practicing LDS wouldn't behave in this manner" that you do a survey of your fellow FReeper mormons.
I dont know what that site is or who started it
Remember SPAMLDS from a few weeks ago? This is his site.
