How do you justify the lies as a Mormon?
If a website is lying about Mormons, I really don't think anyone but the website owner needs to justify what they are lying about. My personal opinion is they have far to much free time on their hands to be concerned enough about what a religion they don't belong to believes in that they are willing to make a website about it.

I couldn't begin to guess why though.

Sure it might be good to know every single thing, but personally I don't have time to document every possible version of events that happened almost 200 years ago. I know what is important and/or interesting to me. I don't try and believe that people who have been members of the LDS church were always perfect, but some of the claims that people make about stuff that happened have no historical backing at all, yet are presented as fact. If me not believing that stuff makes me ignorant, then so be it, guilt as charged. However I would much sooner doubt the logic of the person who woud believe something just because it is posted on the internet that cannot provide any sources to back up their claims.
