2. How do I know who on this newsgroup is a real critic and who's a
Scientologist just pretending to be a critic?

Answer:  Very difficult to tell.  When Clearwater opened a remodeled alley
next to a Scientology building, the group behind the remodeling claimed
there to be no Scientology connection but it was later discovered that major
Scientologists were behind the decision to not allow critics to purchase
memorial bricks in the alley:

control:

4. What is an "OSA Troll"?

Answer: An "OSA Troll" is a Scientologist pretending to be a critic. The
reverse of that happened when writer Mark Ebner went undercover in
Scientology for Spy Magazine.  He later wrote many other fine articles
exposing Scientology's lies and abuse:

5. How is Scientology going about stopping the criticism that takes
place on this newsgroup?

ineffective, much as the time they came to picket my home:

7. Somebody on the newsgroup requested that I send him or her my
Scientology promotional mail that Scientology sent me, should I send
it to them?

Answer:  First, read it and have a good laugh.  Get the know the silly words
Hubbard created such as "enturbulate."  Make yourself familiar with
Scientology's many front groups.  Then educate the public on the various
types of fraud they perpetrate:  (Oh, and send the mail if you like.)

8. If I do start posting articles on this newsgroup that is hurtful to
Scientology, what tactics will the Scientologists pretending to be
critics use in order to frustrate and stop me?

Answer: Nothing compared to what Scientology does to its own members.
Clearwater held a week's worth of hearings back in 1982.  Watch them all
online:

9. Some other posters on the newsgroup recommended that I log onto a
web site that is supposed to have more criticism of Scientology,
should I do this?
