Hi Anonymous,
Can you tell me what specifically what makes you think
we're "bogus" experts?
I think you owe us some evidence that we are saying
things that are untrue, before making such a claim.
If you can't or won't post some clear evidence that we
"bogus" experts are misinforming people and telling
untruths, then your charge is both inaccurate, and
insulting.
The questioner named "Freedom_of_Religion" threatened to
report me as a bogus expert a few days ago. Are you the
same person, anonymous?
If so, did you complain? What came of it? If not,
AskMe.com provides a formal complaint avenue for people
like you. I'd recommend you use it.
Look for a hyperlink entitled "Report a Bogus Expert" and
then click it. You'll see a complaint form in which you can
try and make your case to the Content Editor of
AskMe.com that one or more experts is "bogus." She has
dictatorial power, so if you make a strong case and
convince her, she has absolute authority to remove any of
us as self-declared "experts" in Scientology.

Specifically, you are making endless denigrating accusations
of the Church of Scientology. You have been doing it since
the third page of this forum, beginning your stint in April. But,
others have come before you, also doing your tar brush job,
yet the Church is in it's 50th year. How does it feel to know
that truly, you are impotent. That you can't make it with a
real judge. That all you can do is a pitiful black pr job the likes
of the N****s with the Jews, the Ku Klux Klan with the
Blacks, homophobes with gays, misogynists with women. And
you with the Scientologists. How does it feel to know that all
you can do is to promote hate speech? That you can't get it
past that?

It's quite true that I make many statements about
Scientology, and that the vast majority of them are
unflattering to the CoS. But the statements I make are
truthful, to the best of my knowledge. And that's is the
point I've (unsuccessfully) been trying to get across to
you.
Show me something I've said that's false, and we can
discuss it. If you're correct, I'll apologize to you and the
other readers. Show me a dozen or so such errors on my
part, and I'll even start to believe your "bogus" expert
charge has some merit.
This is the second time I've asked, and you aren't even
willing to talk about merits of my words. You won't even
consider what I've said.
And if you won't do that, you'll have a very hard time
making your case to rational people that I'm a bogus
expert.
Also, you've added some new, false, highly inflammatory
accusations. Not only do you claim I'm bogus, but now you
say I'm also a hateful, destructive, N***. You made these
new judgements without knowing anything about me,
except for the fact that I'm a critic of Scientology.
I hope you will reread your ugly, personal comments above,
and try to understand the hatred they convey. But maybe
you aren't even aware of the hatreds you are nurturing in
your own heart.
I don't hate you, I am not a N***, I am not spreading
"black PR," and I'm certainly not in favor of killing
Scientologists, or anyone else. To believe that I am this
kind of person, and to willingly spread such libels about me
does me an injustice. For you to hate and smear people
about which you know nothing, is foolish and wrong-headed
and even dangerous.
I would strongly urge you to slow down your emotional
knee-jerking and think about that before you post here
again.
I'll keep spreading the real truth about Scientology. To the
extent that truth hurts your feelings, I'm sorry. But your
freedoms are not being infringed. This is a voluntary forum,
no one is forcing you to read. If it gets to be too much for
you tender sensibilities, you can always simply stop reading
the AskMe.com forum.
But please think about this. To the extent that the truth
empowers all people, including you, you really ought to read
and consider the words of the "bogus" experts you hate so
much. Because one day, even you might appreciate that
someone risked your vitriole and your hatred to tell you
these things. One day, you might appreciate getting a
truthful piece of information, instead of a false one.
Bye for now.

discuss things with you. I aleady made my case.
But poor creature, your feelings are hurt. You don't like the
people you are trying to suppress to talk back to you. You're
not used to that.
