Letter to me from ebay about pulling the gay e-meter art.
Michael Pattinson
This was received because I bid on the cute and humorous art piece,
titled below.
I loved its simple hilarity,
I think Scientology has over stepped the mark by pulling art off ebay!

How about if I a turd up for sale on eBay claiming it is an original Michael
Pattinson self sculpture? Michael would be within his rights to request
that eBay cancel that offending artwork as a forgery. Not that it is
dissimilar to Michael.

This is your brain on Scientology. You can be just like Nelson, just
don't forget to bring your wallet. You're gonna need it.

“I think that the protections that we enjoy for freedom of worship exist
so long as we don’t step over the line. When religious worship and
belief cross over into things like fraud, victimization of others and
the disruption of the political arena, that protection is no longer
appropriate.”
