It's not the LDS that is anti HOG. I see it all over the forum. I respect my LDS enough to not bring in questions or comparisons with brands they don't carry. The only thing that they have ever tried to warn me about is buying from a grey market online dealer.
Oh many LDS's and specifically their vendor Reps hate Hog. You "respect" your LDS, do they respect you? Why shouldn't you be able to ask them to justify their product against the competitor? How is it there is this air of "don't ask"? I'll tell you... cause it's been that way for a long time and it has to do with the relationship that the guy who is teaching you how to think / dive is also the guy that is telling you what to buy. That's the source of the problem right there.
