I want you to read a part of what Dennis wrote about Emma on ARS.
My "warning" about ESMB was meant in two ways. First, because my bs
detectors seem much more sensitive than the average recovering ex, I
wondered if maybe some nefarious influence had their "hooks into" what
seems, on the surface, to be a calm, nurturing, self-help message
board. It seems I was expected to be cowed by a bullying, slanted
moderator's public and private threats and personal attacks. So
imagine how the average ex-cultist would feel being pressured like
that.
Now I admit the possibility that these might simply be the symptoms
someone who is weak, unfamiliar with having power over people and so
needs to be vindictive if her flaws are pointed out. In which case
it's merely an example of baser human nature and the
predator/protector instinct kicking in. And if so I can only hope she
calms down and begins acting more maturely at some point in the
future.
This is not a poster discussing a moderator's actions.
This is a nasty piece of shit tearing apart a person on a public forum on a very personal level who thought he was her friend.
I call them as I see them. I am getting more than a little tired of people trying to explain away this kind of behavior because they think Dennis is some sort of fucking icon.
Well, guess what.
I don't.
Any more than I think that the King of Greed Larry Wollersheim is.
I don't buy any of this this for a fucking minute, and I never will.
It's interesting that it seems to be people who either have never been in Scientology or never been in the Sea Org are the ones who fall for this crap.
I was in the Sea Org. I was in later than both Dennis and Larry. I was in the throes of the Miscavige psychosis, which occurred after both of them left. I can tell you that I went through far more hell than either one of them did.
There are people who were in the SO and did shitty things as a result of the pressure they were in when they were there.
There are people who were in the SO who did shitty things and are out and are still doing shitty things.
Because they are just that way.
I think some people need to open their eyes and start seeing the difference.
Q.: Do psychotics deserve freedom of speech?
A: I guess, as much as a phonograph record.
