Now, THIS I find remarkable.

We have Deana Holmes discussing her Anti-Scn-ism WRT her family and
friends in much the same terms and circumstances as many a new
Scientologist!

Her zeal is not shared by them nor is it well understood.  She feels she
must convert them!  Some think she's crazy!

This is fascinating, and you just can't fail to see the parallels.  I
wonder how many other cult-of-critics members have the same problems.
Henson, apparently.  Anyone else?  Practically all, I'll bet.

There's a Scn principle:  What you resist you become -- if you lose.

Oh gee, Henson, we think well of ourselves, don't we?

Lemme see... your example is that of a malicious propagandist and a failed
litigant whose PR game (to justify harassment-via-copyright violation as
if it were a public service) backfired horrifically; a guy whose time is
apparently largely spent on the streets with a sign slamming a religious
sect or posting rumors and deprecations to the Internet.

I imagine, perhaps uncharitably, that what time you have left in the day
must be spent hiding money (how you earn any I haven't a clue), securing
assets (if you have any) against collection and drinking cheap beer with
like-minded buddies.

You stand for all to see as an archetypical example, most especially for
those seeking new careers; spraining your arm as you pat yourself on the
back.

It's sorta funny in a tragic way.  You too, like Deana, are a caricature
of what you think you're fighting.
