Scott Lloyd Strikes Again!

Is there something in the air these days out along the Wasatch Front? Maybe the summer heat is getting to ol' Scotty Dog? Who knows. Whatever it is, he's not holding back during this "Mormon Moment":

Of course Scott would take this idea seriously, and offer it up to the board as being worthy of "consideration." Interestingly, BCSpace was the first to oppose this:
Yeah, c'mon, BCSpace--being branded an anti-Mormon bigot is pretty small potatoes. But some people did continue to question whether or not Scotty Dog's post was in jest. Luckily, he helped to clarify:
What, like, they'll become more white and delightsome? Regardless, I hope that Scott was able to supplement his joviality with some hate-flavored food from Chik-Fil-A.
My colleague Michael De Groote, who occupies a cubicle across the aisle from mine, has suggested there be some system of color-coding those who post on this message board according to "hates the Church or not."
It was in jest, but I think the idea merits consideration.

Wouldn't such a person also be "colored"? To properly interpret someone's view, wouldn't this require an index with the color of the color assignor on the y-axis and the color of the assignee on the x-axis?
It's simpler and more accurate for individuals to read or not read, judge or not judge, and for there to be fewer rules and less moderation (say, only for cuss words and x-rated topics). The truth will rise to the top quicker under such circumstances.
You guys need to lighten up.
Add on: Your last sentence (apparently added after I began my reply) is interesting. Might make a fascinating metric.

Could be an aggregate thing. Board participants who have attained a certain status (such as "Contributor") get to vote. The numbers are crunched and the colors assigned according to the resulting computation. And it could be a continuous thing, like awarding rep points. Might be fascinating to see how an individual's color changes over time along a given spectrum.
