“Mormons that I knew here - hard-working Christian conservatives - have been driven off of this site.”
1. No mormon was driven off who did not violate the rules. If they left because they took offense when someone posted from their writings, then they made their own decision. There were other decisions they could have made.
2. You referred to Mormons as Christian. Oxymoron.
Every conservative of every kind is welcome here... until they start to insult FReepers, violate rules,
use caucus designations to attack Christianity, become RINOmney pimps, etc.
You habitually refer to “mormon-bashing”. I never an individual mormon FReeper “get bashed”. I see people point out the truth about mormonism, the false religion.

A very large number of the Mormon accounts are still open, they merely lost interest in freerepublic and stopped posting when Mitt Romney dropped out of the primary.
They will return as things heat up in the primary, in other words, when the Romney candidacy makes coming to freerepublic worth doing again.
