>It pollutes the Internet with scurrilous distortions and falsehoods. Well, that's a very interesting statement you've made there, Woodbot. Really, you _should_ be aware that we _do_ have the right to free speech under the First Amendment to the Constitution. I don't see how people stating their opinions and beliefs has anything at all to do with "destroying religious freedom", as you so aptly put it. As far as "polluting the Internet" goes, this is _one_ newsgroup among _thousands_. Which _everybody_ on the Internet can read, or not, of their own free will. It's not like it's being pushed down anyone's throat or anything. I think the only "scurrilous distortions and falsehoods" I've seen here have come straight _from_ the Co$. If your "Church" is expanding, and "winning the battle", why do you see one measly little newsgroup as such a threat? From all I've been able to fathom, the "Church" seems bent on destroying this newsgroup. I would say, myself, that this is an attempt to _stifle free speech and political expression_. When you've gone to such methods as resorting to forged cancel messages, and even trying to rmgroup ars, I'd say you all were the intolerant bigots here. And as far as that little incident with Mr. Erlich, to me, that positively smacks of an Inquisition. Raiding the poor man's home and destroying and seizing his works under the guise of "He Violated Copyrights." Man, that could be _you_ someday. Dude, wake up, they're just using you, and when the day comes you're no longer of use to them, you'll be discarded. They don't care about you. Just how much use they can get out of you, and how much abuse they can heap on you. If I was you, I'd be looking hard for the nearest exit. Just some advice. It _is_ your decision, this _is_ a free country. No matter what _they_ say.
