“Its not so much WHAT you say, John Locke, but your tone is frequently contemptuous and insulting, an issue of context, not content, I would say.” Yes Aquamarine, you hit the nail on the head. JL is not going to get many converts to his vitriol by adopting a condescending and contemptuous attitude toward others.

Kemist, I noticed that too. An hour ago I typed “Something can be done about it Mike Rinder” and the Freedumb thing on Mike was not at the top, and I’m in the US.

“…even the most washed of brain…” I’m going to steal that MonkeyChuff.

John Locke, this not a tech blog. We all share our opinions, viewpoints and experiences pro and con about the tech, but essentially this is a “big tent” of people who want to abolish the ABUSES of the Church of Scientology. Whatever else we as individuals want or don’t want, however we differ or agree on the SUBJECT of Scientology and/or its Founder L. Ron Hubbard, we ALL want to end the abuses practiced by this “church”.

You might want to keep this in mind and save your cleverest and most serious vitriol about LRH and the subject of Scientology for other blogs, or, if you don’t want to soften or mitigate your comm about what you hate about Scientology and/or LRH, then try not to expect the total agreement here that you would receive on other blogs.

We’re a mixed bunch here in many ways, but we’re all united to put an end to Disconnection and Fair Game, for starters.

Can you understand this concept, so that when you share your views, you need not become so apparently exasperated and seemingly insulted and insultING at what you obviously perceive as the incredible ignorance of those who disagree with you?

Its not so much WHAT you say, John Locke, but your tone is frequently contemptuous and insulting, an issue of context, not content, I would say.

That’s very, very weird.

They are still absent for me, since yesterday.

Perhaps it’s different from country to country.

He speaketh sooth Mr. Locke.

The name-calling and antagonistic tone does your logic no favors. It makes it easy to dismiss your comments. I would suggest to you that you may have a better chance of getting those who you are trying to persuade to assume your viewpoint. Those who already agree with you arent going to care one way or another.

Kemist, You are incorrect. I just typed “going clear” & “mike rinder” into Google search and the CoS ads were right at the top of the results.

A non said, “You can’t say “Hubbard plagiarized the greatest men of all time” while saying “everything Hubbard wrote was bad.”

True, but I’ve never seen that said. What I HAVE seen said is that El Con lied about his largest and most important claims for his “technology” he developed FROM the plagiarized writings of the greatest men of all time. In that he NEVER produced a single CLEAR, OT or Stably exterior person with full perceptions. Now, THAT has been scientifically verified as a true statement.

Any other questions?
