You have a very, very strange sense of humor to consider what you wrote "satire," Mr. Marcus.

An apology is not what's needed here, Robert. What *is* needed is a little more honesty and truthfulness from you and your colleagues. Are you a member of the CAN Reform Group? Do you post under both accounts 102020.1551 and 76744,162? It's quite obvious that the two accounts are used by you, someone who posts under the screen name STANDUP, and someone called Shawn GB Tyler.

Jon Noring has been asking Helena Kobrin that very same question for months now. Unfortunately, Helena Kobrin chooses not to respond to Jon's requests. If by "getting along" you mean that everyone else in the world must submit to your "Church's"<spit> decisions and demands, I'm afraid a.r.s. will remain every bit as much a battlefield as L.A. was when Rodney King spoke those words.

The people you call the "Anti-Cult Cult" [which implies, of course, that you acknowledge the "Church"<spit> of Scientology[tm] is indeed a cult] are actually quite sane, reasonable individuals, with no shared interest or agenda other than securing freedom of speech on the net. Many of us, including myself, would be perfectly content to leave your "Church"<spit> in peace if your lawyers were willing to cease litigation and threats of litigation and start a dialogue instead. The offer of reconciliation has been offered to your "Church"<spit> and refused time and time again.

The only one to blame for the current situation on a.r.s. is the leaders of your "Church"<spit>. As long as you're willing to support their actions and their demands, the battling will not stop.
