Helluva thing to read this newsgroup after not reading it
for over a year.

ARS has become a carricature of itself. Ugly sonbitch.

ARS =  the mother of all on-line cultish groups.
And the mother of all straw dogs, is the ARSCC
version of Scientology

We used to have some fun on this NG, (believe it or not)
Looks like a wasteland to me now. (and a waste of time)
The ARSCC (which doesn't exist), in an insane  war with an evil
criminal cult. (which also doesn't exist) YAWN - how can
combatants (either side) take this bull so seriously. ya all
need to run repetitive "lighten up to EP" for a few hundred
hrs. (and then maybe get a life)

Yeh, from the perspective of this newsgroup
the pickets etc. are very noble, brave etc.
But from any rational perspective, picketers
are mostly playing the role of the fool even
though praised as heros in their own little world.

And what are Scientologists doing even bothering
to post here. Why play with these people?

Usenet can be fun, entertaining, educational, and
even useful. BUT... you can get so rapped up in it and
so sucked into it that you think you're a warrior
taking part in the making of history, when in reality
you're jsut the same old you and you're just
jerk jerking off. (to the cheers of other jerks
doing the same)

Saving people from Scientology? Protecting the world
from domination by an evil cult? Yeh, sure, whatever.

What a waste. All this time and effort could be going into
something worthwhile or useful in the real world.

Didn't see it at the time, but Bernie was right all along. Ya all
are whatchya think you're fighting. All of ya.

But of course YOU know the TRUTH and you're so damn right
and now ya got yourself in a position ya can never back away from.

Of such things are traps made.
