Why Aren't LDS Freedom Forum Website Owners Being Excommunicated?

As the LDS Freedom Forum is so against the leaders of the Church, I am at a loss why they are not experiencing blowback from the Church. The opinions being promoted over there are far worse against the Church leaders than those promoted by Mormon Stories John Dehlin who has been excommunicated, but the views promoted over at the LDS Freedom Forum against the prophet and the other leaders of the Church are far more extreme than any other excommunicated folks, yet they are left alone to carry on with their "apostasy".
Who is behind the LDS Freedom Forum, and why is their "apostasy" so ignored by any entity of Church discipline?

Part of it might be the anonymity. I don’t think the LDS Church excommunicates screen names.

I'm guessing they aren't loud enough to be heard by the brethren and local leaders aren't paying attention to their members' online activity.

Understood, but I am referring to the owners of the site.

Never heard of them. But unless the member discloses excommunication you'll never know.

Is the site owner’s identity known?

That's the question.

I'm sure that they could come up with a temple ceremony that would, for example, ex my screen name. If they can perform baptisms, priesthood ordinations, and endowments for some guy named "John", who lived 800 years ago, having little clue who he really was, they can do it for me, having no more of a clue who I really am.
"malkie, having been commissioned by Jesus Christ, I excommunicate you for and on behalf of whoever you are in real life. You are hereby commanded to present yourself to your Stake President for confirmation of this ordinance."
[wait a minute - typing that here doesn't actually do anything, I hope.
I mean, malkie is still the same unorthodox heteropractic fool that he was before, right?
And still officially a member.]

I’m not sure. Did you say Beetle Juice three times?

Gotcha. I have no idea. Not a place where I’ve hung out.
