Perhaps you can show us an example of the "hatred and venom" coming from the "anti-Mormon brigade".
Mostly what I see here is Mormons posting their beliefs and "anti-Mormons" (as they are venomously and hatefully referred to by Mormons) posting documents from the Mormon Apostles and Prophets that might better explain exactly what it is that the Mormon Church really teaches or what they really used to teach.
I mean who should we believe about what Mormonism teaches, a bunch of anonymous freepers or the past and present apostles and prophets of the Mormon church?
FWIW I was taught some really weird stuff back in the 1960's while I was a Mormon, but today most Mormons will attempt to publicly disavow much of what I was taught to be "gospel".
Nothing against you, but I am very sleepy and have to get up for work tomorrow.
P.S. I'm not a Mormon.

While reading this thread I too had the word "anti" jump out at me as an attack on those that respectfully post comments using reasoned debate to communicate with the Mormons here.
I too experienced teachings from the Mormon church in the last century that they now deny were taught.
Fortunately I still have some of the books.
Thanks for your post.
