Well, guys, I didn't like hazing when I was in high school and I'm too old to put up with it now.
You honestly don't think you had any part in the way people reacted to you, do you? You don't have any concept of how to interact with a group of individuals with a wide spectrum of beliefs and knowledge or even how to take advice or process information that is at odds with what you have chosen to believe. Its all just anti-mormon "hazing" in your mind. You got schooled in both Mormon history and legal tradition by historians and lawyers who are very knowledgeable on the subjects and ended up butt-hurt because you are inflexible and naïve. A normal person would appreciate the information given but time after time you doubled down and dug yourself into a deeper hole of your own obstinacy.
Every one of the points you brought up was address, ad nauseam, you just didn't like the answers. I think several people were correct in saying you might feel more at home in a more moderated, believer friendly board that is more of a F&T meeting or at someplace like carm where you can duke it out with people who have beliefs that are just as jello-y and unsupportable as your own. Whats sad it that we have a HUGE spectrum of people on this board (evangelicals, Catholics, Mormons, non-believing active Mormons, former Mormons, never Mormons, Wiccan, Greek paganism, republicans, democrats, bleeding heart libruls!, trumplicans, white supremacists, libertarians, homosexuals, homophobes, historians, lawyers, teachers, ceo's, entrepreneurs, ex-military, scientists, science deniers, etc, etc, etc...we literally cover all walks of life and the full spectrum of beliefs, life experiences and affiliations) and you werent able to figure out how to fit in. Even in your last post, you had to shallowly lump us all into an "escape from Mormonism" support group as if we all have the same motivations for being here. So lame but I get why people like you need to do it, its easier to rationalize your chosen belief system when the people who don't agree with you can be put into simple, easy to dismiss categories. Anyway....
