[ originally posted to a.r.s but was told this is the more appropriate
place ]

Hello, I voluntarily left Tampa Org about 1 year ago now. My name is
Terrence Brannon. Since then, I have been lurking in the Freezone. I
was on Terrill Park's [FreezoneOrg
list](http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FreezoneOrg/) for most of this
time. I have had a few incidents there which are leading to my
voluntary withdrawal from that discussion group.

Incident One: Robert Ducharme was removed from the FreezoneOrg list
because he discussed his alternative tech, R3X.

Incident Two: I sent an email to the FreezoneOrg list discussing some
negative effects of trying a Ken Ogger Self-Clearing exercise. I was
placed on moderated status for this.

Incident Three: I wrote an email based on the understanding that
Freezone is an all-encompassing term for both Standard and
Non-Standard Tech. I pointed out that a FreezoneOrg list should
encompass both and that the stated charter was narrowing the list
focus to only Standard Tech.

Here is Terrill Park's response:

> I am list owner of this forum. Its primarily for
> those who follow standard tech. I am also a member of

>
> Promotion of non-standard tech is not allowed here.
> People who follow alternative freezone tech are

> grounding in scientology.

Incident Four: I linked to my survey document of all the various
Freezone practices - http://schemelab.jottit.com/scio-fz

Incident Five: I write the following farewell message to FreezoneOrg:

Yes, you are right. I have to agree. I was trying to change the list's
rule and definition of topics. It was a form of protest. And I did it
as protest as opposed to discussion.

But please notice incident 4. In this case, what I see is a person
attempting to censor me because I linked to a site critical of the
Freezone. I dont concur with censorship. What I concur with is people
using critical thinking to assess for themselves. I relist incident
four for your review:

I understand! It's obviously the wrong list for you and you
will feel better without it :-)

I don't know nuttin' about this, and haven't read any of this guy's
posts, but it occurred to me that maybe referring him to something
like "A Handbook for Preclears" or "Self Analysis" might help clear
things up. LRH was a *very* compassionate man, and somewhere said
words to the effect that he was always willing to help. Whoever this
guy is, he does not sound like an SP - more like a few mistakes
leading to a big ARC break or the equivalent in common parlance 'a big
disappointment'.

We all deal with the apparent conflict of what we perceive, and what
is actually there. It's a question of ARC.

And ... like I said, I haven't read any previous posts and have no
frame of reference.

It's basically about Scientology's old Achilles heel:
thinking/living in a box.

Some people don't like that, even if the box is good.

I see. Maybe a question of perceptions - this is way off topic, but
it's interesting to look at the world in terms of boxes (I'm kind of
joking here). I can see how working for the proverbial IBM
Corporation, or the proverbial Government Bureaucracy, can be seen as
living in a box, but are the disciplines of mathematics, engineering,
or accounting also a box? Or are these things legitimately perceivable
as things which provide a way out of a box? Any language is, arguably,
a box - there are rules, restrictions, and one must use only words
within that language (designating all other words not accepted as
"foreign") - but the goal is freedom to express onself. Maybe in broad
terms, the goal is to get out of any box - but what is that?

Include all other dynamics, as LRH envisioned in his booklet
"the dynamics and the tone scale"?

It's a quite improbably concept as long as some of them are hostile
and ex-clusive, but if WE are hostile and ex-clusive, it can
never happen.

Yes garbage cans are for garbage.

Unless you are garbage, why jump in?

Indeed.

He linked to the OSA website attacking freezoners. My
friends. Full of garbage!

He wasn't unsubscribed, just told that such references were
unacceptable.

So he comes here and ARS to whine.

Humbly tendered as a gift to ARS and ACT. :)

Threats of unsubscription are the same as unsubscribed.

The free zone run by you assholes is as bad as a Nazi
Concentration Camp.

However a private forum is a bit likes one's home, or castle if

for us brits. If some guests are disagreeable one may ask them to
behave or leave. One may personally find there behaviour quite
tolerable, but the other party guests may take offence. And I have
experienced that.

One has to do the best one can as a good host.
