Off-topic "...I can't say I've ever met one that I didn't like." - Unfortunately, I've met a few that really forced their faith on others. However, several of my very best friends and honorary family members are very devout LDS members. While we disagree about religious tenets, we have extreme respect for one another and would defend the other's right to disagree to the death, without hesitation.

Yeah, I've dealt with those ones too (a good friend came back from his mission very different -- took him a while to chill out about it). Generally, I have found them about as pushy as vegetarians. EDIT: I know some real a$$hole vegetarians.

  I'll count myself grateful because the vegetarians I know are so chill :-) And I now have a scary mental image of a rabid rabbit-vegetarian chimera defending a vegi-patch with it's teeth bared. Yep - definitely grateful that I don't know anybody like that :-)

@fixxer - either the pushy LDS members you know are much more chill than the ones I know, or the vegetarians are much more militaristic! :-)

At one company I worked for, everyone in the acquired group I worked with was Mormon. They were all chill, awesome people! My thought about it at the time was, "Damn, if Mormons are all like this, it might be awesome to join!" Not that I would, but they were all awesome folks.

  A company I worked for recently had a 50/50 split. We also had one team of a dozen that was all LDS. I liked everyone of them, they were all personable and highly proficient. Management had no problems until it slipped that during the process of hiring a new teammember they had discriminated against an applicant who had indicated support for gay rights in her facebook profile. Ironically, while gay marriage was definitely being talked about, the biggest gay rights topic at the time was housing and workplace non-discrimination for the LGBT community.
