Hmmm, seems like there is some beef between the webmaster and Tony:
http://scientologycelebrity.wordpress.com/
I actually agree with them. Tony doesn't need to spread rumors around about the peeps behind this site.
Well, i hope they do come back one day....
It's more than weird. It just doesn't make sense. No one stops blogging on a site like that because of some name calling from Tony. And I honestly don't get how Tony saying someone is an "old time critic" is even an insult. The guy at Scientology Celebrity just sounds like some kind of asshole. I know for a fact that Tony was not a fan of this site, but who cares? Since when is Tony Ortega's opinion a make-break for whether you should crusade against Cof$? There is more than meets the eye here.
It was pretty obvious from the writing styles of the blogs that the Scientology Celebrity blogging was being done by more than one person. Which reminds me that there was even mention in the blog at one point about how their person at the HGB got caught out and so they lost their source there. And this was right after the blogger reported that there was a big OSA/ILO meeting on the subject of Tony Ortega and how he was their #1 target.
So here's an idea: maybe they not only caught the guy at ILO, maybe they also caught the guy at CCI (or wherever he was), and now they shut down the site but did it in such a way as to make it look like it was Tony's fault, thereby trying to make everyone pissed at Tony. And now the OSA guys are posting these "revenge" notices against Tony on the Scientology Celebrity page.
Pure conjecture on my part, but it makes a hell of a lot more sense to me than the idea that these guys have been blogging about Scientology with heavy insider data for months and now just suddenly stop because of something Tony said.
Personally, I never thought for a second that the blog was shut down 'because of Tony'. There's some other reason. It's possible that it's because one or more of them were caught or because of OSA heat. But, they didn't seem too concerned about it, even seemed rather amused by it. But, I can't really rationalize a reason they'd take everything down without any kind of explanation as to why. I mean, they took a lot of heat from all kinds of directions and kept going. So, quite possible OSA took it down...I really don't know. Whatever happened is bound to be pretty interesting, if it comes to light. Just doesn't sit right with me.
I just hope they're all alright.

Ever heard of (silly) "Reach-and-Withdraw-Games" ? Teenage girls like to play them occasionally....

A new update:
What do we have here?
TonyO: “Imagine your disappointment when you finally learn it was an old-time critic (pre-Anonymous) just pretending all along.
This was the response from Mr. O to a post that I made on his blog where I expressed my opinion that I felt that the scientology celebrity bloggers were exactly who they claimed to be (pissed off embedded SO members spilling the beans and letting us know that the COS is even crazier and more diabolical then we imagined.)
I thought that they were doing a hellava job and I checked their site several times a day. What blows me away is, there they are, putting up with all the shit that the insane asylum has to offer at great risk to themselves day in and day out, working like slaves for piss wages AND, THEIR PRIDE IS HURT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING TONY ORTEGA SAYS? AND BECAUSE OF THAT.....THEIR GOING TO SHUT DOWN?
I'm confused and dissapointed by this turn of events. That blog had to be driving DM nuts because he didn't know WHO THEY WERE, he would of been seeing moles everywhere! My god, he must of been pooping in his big boy panties. Everyday. All day.
So, anywho......what is every bodies conclusion?
That OSA found out who they were,or at least the guy who put the website up,
and closed it down.
