Since some of the materials which describe the $cientology cult could be
considered to be copywritten materials, I have censored myself and The
Skeptic Tank by deleting any and all possible text files which describes
the cult's hidden mythologies. I have elected to quote just a bit of the
questionable text according to the "Fair Use" legal findings afforded to
those who report. - Fredric L. Rice, The Skeptic Tank, 09/Sep/95

In article <3tq7oj$hm4@covina.lightside.com>,
someone purporting to be "Chris Miller"
insulted me as follows:
> You have proven Mr. Newman your truely childish research standards as

> obviously were forwarding vested interest message.
I'll match my research skills against yours any time, Mr./Ms. "Miller".
My sources go far beyond the books I quoted in my message, and extend
to numerous articles in newspapers, magazines, and law journals,
not to mention the public court records of case 81-681, Cooper v. Scientology
et al., and case 81-2608, Garrison v. Flanagan et al., both in the U.S.
District Court in Boston.
If you do not want to believe Wallis, Lamont, Atack, and Corydon's
accounts of Paulette Cooper's harassment, then read these:

MUST you compare yourself to Jews every time someone attacks you????
I'm Jewish and proud to be so, and I consider this highly offensive.
By the way, the books I've quoted don't attack "the Scientologists"
as a class. Some of them do attack the people who run the Church of
Scientology. Big difference!
> I bet you

Especially after the past few months' research, I know a LOT more about
libraries than you ever will.
Now go away.
