Snore...
Question answered by honorarykid in Scientology
Mr_Rogers asked this question on 10/6/2000:
Doesn't it seem that the people on this board against
Scientology are really boring? Suppress means to squash or
make nothing of. This is definitely the only action (fruitless) of
the anti-scientologists here, but they are so bombastic and
self-important that you know they really don't have any sense
and are more like a peanut crowd. They are probably paid by
the federal government to fund their hopeless addictions or
writhing or something, you know? But to assume that they
have any credibility is really laughable. And they are boring.
Doesn't everyone agree?

Hi Mr. Rogers,
I for one, don't agree that critics of Scientology are
laughable or boring.
I think the political debate going on between the Church of
Scientology and it's critics is very interesting. I think critics
do a very good job of showing the public some important
truths about the CoS.
You mention the word "suppress." Would you like to squash
and suppress all criticism of the CoS? Yes, of course you
would. So how does an attitude like yours jibe with the
rights of people to speak freely, to stand in opposition to
oppressive, dictatorial political movements?
Your opinions about people being paid by the government
are too ridiculous to merit a response. Your ad hominem
insults are ridiculous, too. I wish you were a little less
predictable in their usage.
Here's something I hope you will think about. I know that by
insulting and sneering and trying to "not-is" the critics of
Scientology, you are essentially trying to postulate away our
credibility and postulate away our "entheta."
But when you do so, and in such nasty and insulting ways,
you're really working to contradict your own postulates.
Rather than make us look bad, you make YOU and other
Scientologists look bad. You end up proving that what we
critics say about Scientology training as a corrupting
influence, is true.
IMO, there something fundamentally flawed about having
such a belief system.
