I have been doing an extensive study on Paul and his scriptural references in Romans and Hebrews to the Septuagint. Your post made me think there were more important things going on.
But, mainly, that aside from the standards debate, the UPCI preaches the Gospel message that the Apostles preached. So, you might be in a bit of trouble standing before God someday "persecuting" a group of people on God's side - regardless of being bitter over the standards you don't agree with.
People in every religious faith are on a journey. I started out as a Catholic. Where will I be in 10 or 20 years? Who knows, but aside from reasonable scriptural dialogue, I'm not going to "persecute" any group preaching the Gospel.
That's how I feel about it, anyway.

Humor is in the eye (or funny bone) of the beholder. Dry humor used around a sacred bovine I usually not appreciated by those who worship said bovine. But then this mindset leads to the rest of the comments about 'persecuting' the UPC. Persecuting? Really? Now I do need to find a sarcastic emoticon because disagreeing with certain aspects of any group's beliefs is not 'persecution', unless you belong to a nightmare like ISIS and behead everybody who isn't exactly like you. And then finally there's the tired old 'bitter' judgment call. Whatever. Now I can say I've been on both sides of that, too.
