Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to questions if they contained copyrighted materials. After a very short while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg Churilov" cultist was ejected from askme.com for his typical Scientological behavior.

Ray Randolph received email from Cartoonist Jim Berry, who was a target of Scientology for some of his cartoons about Scientology.

"The subject of Scientology brought back upsetting memories. Years ago a reader sent me an article about Scientology that appeared in a northern Florida newspaper (Tallahassee?). It was about how the 'church' operated with respect to dealing with the people on their 'enemies list.' It seems I did one or two cartoons that they didn't like. In the piece there was reference to 'Operation 'Berry's World,' or some such title. It told about the leader of the church of Scientology urging all of its members to write and call newspapers across the country and complain about my feature - telling editors and publishers to drop 'Berry's World.' This was an organized effort to kill my career and I had no idea that it was happening. It's a wonder my feature survived the onslaught. I decline to write anything further about this subject."
