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.

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.
