Larry Wollersheim was a former member of the Cult of Scientology. during his time there in the '70s, he was the victim of abuse; when he left, he became 'fair game'. in his civil case against the CoS, he was finally awarded $8,700,000 in damages and compensation in 2002.

In their 1991 appeal, the CoS asserted that "Fair Game" was a "core practice of Scientology", and therefore protected as "religious expression".

John Sweeney, an investigative reporter for the BBC, was systematically stalked and harassed by the Cult of Scientology while filming a special report in 2007. they tracked him to his publicly undisclosed hotel, harassed him at his interviews of critics and hired private investigators to follow him:

the CoS went on to accuse the BBC of making 'terrorist death threats'. yes, they actually accused the BBC of terrorism.

these are just a sampling of the proven cases of criminal actions perpetrated by the Cult of Scientology. there's plenty of unofficial claims as well, such as the cases of Lisa McPherson and Jeremy Perkins. while they are primarily conjecture, the evidence in these cases is more than suspect.

abusive and libelous questions are not 'hard-hitting' or 'tough'. they are disrespectful and demonstrate a lack of critical analysis. one can be very direct and courteous at the same time.

you pick and choose the commentary made by individual members and Anonymous, spinning them to fashion the view of Anonymous to your opinion. you like to build 'straw men' as a target for your snarky commentary. looking at your previous writings about us, you made your decision on us long before. i would be very surprised if you actually respond to me.

we take the protests very seriously; this does not mean we have to be dour and angry. we aim to inform the public and to have a fun time doing so. we are non-violent and very approachable due to our sense of humor. 'a spoonful of sugar' and all that.

Journalists are not obligated to re-print your press releases. They are allowed to take present a story from different perspectives and make light of humourous situations. You should be happy that the issue is presented at all in a Canwest/Global newspaper. You may have noticed that CanWest/Global goes out of its way to avoid saying anything controversial that could land them in court (except maybe Quebec sovereintist politicians who regularly threaten to sue them)

I could get more "fair and balanced" information from fox news.
