Anyone familiar with LDS history — not the sanitized version of Mormon Sunday School — knows that people who follow Joseph Smith (that includes members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and scores of other groups who claim Smith's “restoration”) have instigated “hit lists” of apostates and others who opposed them.
It was undoubtedly a joke in poor taste, but someone who posts regularly to “Mormon Apologetics” recently suggested that I be put on a Danite hit list. Here's the post: http://www.mormonapologetics.org/index.php?showtopic=28245
Not funny. And even jokes about such a thing are why I won't go back.
