Hi OneThetan,
You speak here like a very sane person. You don't seem like a typical
"churchie" to me. I wish that more Scientologists like you would speak out
for what is right. I would sincerely like to believe that the management
bullies are not evil people. I use to feel otherwise like you too. But what
I found out in my own research proved otherwise.

I agree with you that this IS a footbullet for the Church of Scientology and
makes them look like they can roughshod over people's privacy rights.
Already, ACLU is interested in this case. I will tell more about this later.
You're right, the church SHOULD communicate to me but I have not gotten as
much as a warning from them. They have my email address. Somebody could have
easily emailed me but they didn't. They acted like a bully instead and used
an out-ethics gradient.
It is NOT wrong OR against the law to post "fair use" extracts of
copyrighted material.

Please don't say I've violated any copyrights. First, it's not true. Second,
I have not been convicted of a crime.
I would be more than happy to see the Church of Scientology prove that it's
showing good will and tolerance toward critics. It wouldn't be a "thorn" to
me. I'd be HAPPY about it. I don't desire to be right for being right. I
just want justice.

Good advice. I sincerely hope the Church of Scientology listens to you here.
