Let him ask away. Amy touched on a most important aspect, however. Curiosities about our beliefs do not always merit an appropriate response. Some areas are highly sacred, such as the Temple and its ordinances therein.
All sorts of distortions were borne when Joseph Smith told of his vision at seeing God the Father and His Son. Since then, his name will be held for good or evil the world over--as prophesied.
Lucifer is kicking into high gear to dissuade the believer and non-believer of the truthfulness of this Restored Church on earth. He knows his time is limited.
Nevertheless, the never-ending fabrications of men to deride the beliefs of the Mormon Church grow old and tiresome.
We believe that all mankind should have the liberty to believe as they will so long as the neighbor is not harmed. Give us the same option.

All right MeatBot, you answered that you are getting tired of them. So quit asking them.
You're going to end up like Korihor, the anti-christ if you don't. You will keep teaching false doctrines/misinterpreted doctrines to the point you will ask for a sign. Read about him and find out what happens after that.
Repent and sin no more.

I would love an honest debate on the subject, but MeatBot seems more interested in pulling out obscure quotes and trying to "disprove" the religion by presenting out-of-context half-truths.
So...to answer the question, yes, it is getting tiring.

You ask a valid question.
Not all non-believers who post to this Forum are hate-mongers. Likewise, some self-professed Christians seem to have wandered away from the “love thy neighbor” reservation judging by some of their written words. I will confine my remarks below only to those in both camps that act badly.
For both of these types of persons, it is interesting and sad to see how some persons will behave when hiding behind the anonymity of the computer. As an "old guy" I have occasionally acted irresponsibly in my youth, so I can relate, but only up to a point. I suspect that these persons would be truly ashamed if they knew their parents, husband, wife, children, etc., learned of some of the things they write herein. If their loved ones have departed this earth they may even be looking down on these persons from above and weeping at their actions. Clearly they do their loved ones a disservice and dishonor them with such behavior.
The scriptures speak of persons who are vitriolic and flippant:
2Ti 3:1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.
2Ti 3:2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good,
2Ti 3:4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
2Ti 3:5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
Rom 1:26 For these reasons "...God gave them up to dishonorable passions."
(ESV translation)
The best solution I can recommend for you is to ignore the vapid questions or comments of believers and non-believers. It is very easy to scan past them and focus your eyes on the substantive and cogent items. If you spend enough time in this Forum the persons prone to ill manners become known quickly, enabling the ignoring of their wasted efforts even easier.
Just keep asking questions in an objective manner and you will sometimes get useful responses. I try to answer questions so structured with a reasoned theological and philosophical response.

Do not know who MeatBot is, but I guess anyone can ask any question. People with certain themes seem to carry a bias though.

Not me, I appreciate them.
It is always interesting to see how people react when they are faced with the outside appearance of their belief system.
MeatBot isn't being rude, she is just highlighting beliefs and inconsistencies. If it is getting tiring, maybe you should come up with good answers.

I actually find them interesting, but when he asks them, I'd like to see, in his additional details, a citation of a source that confirms what he says in his question is true...for example, if he's claiming that Jos. Smith had a liquor license, I'd like to see evidence of that somewhere. Then I'd be more likely to comment.

Eh, I don't know who he is either, But I am mormon myself and I can agree people question and try to prove us wrong so much, it does get annoying, why can't people leave us alone and just get over it.
