My experience with the few Mormons I have met and known have been pleasant and nonchalant.
____________________________________________

After I graduated for college I took the LSAT...January, 1982

A fat guy in shabby USAF uniform was sitting at the front of the room...

Before the test began he got up and announced to the packed room that he was a mormon and had just flown in from Germany to take the test...

he laughed at the room and said that none of us would pass the test and we may as well just go home...

I was appalled and embarrased for him and wished i was still in the USAF so I could get him for his rotten appearance...some girls were upset...some people objected to what he said...others asked what a “mormon” was???

But he was just getting warmed up...he shouted over the objections and mocked them...

He claimed he was the only one who would pass the test because his “bishop” had prayed for him before he got on the plane and to paraphrase, pronounced a curse on us all...

Now at the back of the room near the door were several big old linebacker types, and I was in the line of fire...if those jocks all tackled that one flabby mormon I was going to get crushed...

Right then the instructor came in with the test and his fat stupid heathen hide was saved by the bell...

Has practically every Mormon you've ever been around been terrible, judgmental people? I hope not. I've had similar experience in the same vein, although from a different side...

Very few Mormons in my area, so I have little experience with them (the few I've met were polite and never proselytized). Anecdotally, the worst types I've met, in the same vein as your anecdotes, are to a person some kind of Baptist. Backstabbing, judgmental, nasty people. Those experiences left me leery of Baptists and Evangelicals in general, which spills over into my personal relationships and business ones as well.

Sometimes I feel like I'm being unfair, but it sure is hard to break away from those experiences...magritte
