Most of the Mormons that I'm aware of (that posted on FR), were quite conservative....socially and politically.
Their are thousands of other sites they can post on for other reasons. I'm sure they were attracted to FR conservative stances.
Unfortunately, many have been driven off this site...as if we can afford to run off conservatives simply because of their religious beliefs. Grig is just another in a long line.
They have not been driven off the site. They pushed and pushed and pushed against the founding principles of the site, until Jim Robinson said enough was enough.
A badge of honor, I suppose, in some Mormon circles.... kind of like Islamic suicide bombers.
Unfortunately, many have been driven off this site.

They were NOT driven off FR, many were zotted for supporting polygamy, Romney, anti-freeper statements or support, trolling, cyber stalking and posting our personal information (IRL name and such) or doing stupid things like calling other Freepers Nazis.
They GOT THEMSELVES kicked off FR.
No one was driven off, it was self promotion and irrationality that did.
When you post anti-FreeRepublic and anti-FreeRepublic member posts, having a sissy fit, you will most likely get zotted. Everyone has a bad day, but come one, if that’s all you do, move along.
This is true.

This is UNTRUE.
They could NOT get their way; bitched and moaned that they couldn't; called folks names; compared them to NAZIs; made veiled (barely) threats; insulted JIM ROBISON.
There are STILL plenty of MORMONs left on FR. Their 'religion'; will NOT get them 'driven' away.
Their ATTITUDES and MANNERs will; just like I will get the feared (or desired, it appears, in some cases) ZOT if I become as nasty as some of the sorry examples of MORMONism that USED to have free reign to post on FR: the BEST conservative website on the web!! (Unashamed suckup by ELSIE)
BS. The Mormons were not driven off this site. They pushed the envelope with their whining and their proselytizing and their devotion to Romney. For years Jim Robinson gave them kid glove treatment on this site and let them get away with all kinds of crap that nobody else could do. Hundreds of Freepers were suspended or banned over the years for posting the truth about Mormonism. I was suspended several times because the Mormons got upset when I'd post information about their rituals and practices and beliefs and they'd whine to the mods and my posts would get pulled and on several occasions I was temporarily booted off the site.
Then one day Jim Robinson decided that he wasn't going to treat the Mormon whiners like the little babies that they were becoming. He gave some of us free reign to talk about Mormon history, doctrine, practices and rituals and basically decided to treat Mormonism like he allowed every other religion to be treated on Free Republic. IOW he allowed us to actually openly discuss Mormonism without banning us. What happened after that was that the Mormon apologists whined and complained constantly to the mods and the mods ignored them. Then they started calling Free Republic an "Anti-Mormon" site and one after another they either ran away because they could not bear to hear the truth about Mormonism or they posted some really nasty invectives about Free Republic or Jim Robinson and they basically committed suicide like Grig did here today.
Mormons can't stand the truth. That is the bottom line. When their beliefs, doctrines, rituals, history and practices are exposed to the light, they either leave the church, like I did, or they cower in the corner and cry foul.
Bull, most of the ones we have seen have been dedicated Romney supporters going back to their sign up time or 6 years ago, they are almost all non-conservative rinos.
