Hi AJ. Do you feel that your fellow Scientologist Woody has tried to help or hinder real dialog on a.r.s?

RA

Hi RA, (Or should I say "Hello RA!"),

First, please call me Danzig, or if you must use initials, zq ;)

The short answer is hinder.

But, contrary to popular opinion on arS, I cannot speak for him or another, nor they for me. I am a free person capable of independent thought, action and opinion. I can understand what Woody is trying to do, even though I don't personally agree with his methods.

I, like Woody, do not appreciate the blindly bigoted hate thrown our way because of the religious beliefs we choose to hold. He deals with it as he sees fit, as do I.

This, of course, flies in the face of those who portray all Scientologists as mindless "ronbots" who do, think and say everything the same. It is useful for a bigot to portray the subject of his bigotry as something less than human, and thus not entitled to civil rights, or common decency. The fact is, the thousands of Scientologists I have personally known are quite a diverse lot, holding a wide range of opinions and having many different backrounds. Some where amongst the nicest and kindest people I have ever met. Others were dickheads.

Thanks for asking...

Danzig

P.S. It is 5/16/95 @ 19:15 GST and neither of the 2 posts I posted (Including the one you are responding to) have yet appeared on my board. In fact, a reply to my "Tarla Unmasked?" post has been posted, but not the post itself!! If I were an anti, I guess I'd be screaming "OSA". It is baffling that this keeps happening though.

P.P.S. You may post this if you like.
