I don't think this newsgroup is picking on Mormons per se; rather, it
takes turns picking on everyone.  Some time ago, there was a rather long
debate about the historical basis (or lack thereof) of Christianity
itself.  I suspect, though, that Mormons are attacked somewhat more because
(a) they're quite visible; (b) people know more about the history of the
church because it took place recently, and in this country.
