Xapped, there is a reason why there's no visible connection between me
and Scientology. There isn't one.

Criminal mind?? Jeez, louise, guy - lighten up. Re-read that passage you
wrote. You basically said that anyone who isn't a Scientologist, and who
shares my point of view, is an OSA "henchman." Because it's a very
"specialized" line of thought. What's so specialized about seeing the
warring attitude for what it is ON EITHER SIDE?? I'm not at war with you
or anyone else. When I read an opinion, I try to keep an open mind. You
should try it, instead of classifying things into "this" kind of
"persuasive" tactic or "that" kind of "line." Sometimes people just
think a thing, and then they say it, Xapped. Closing yourself off to
regular human interaction/communication will tie you in knots
eventually, perhaps as it did to Lisa.
