Wonder if these people are behind the recent leaking of that (supposedly private) vid of Tom Cruise fulminating on the wonders of Scientology....

That's rather disturbing. Vigilantism is always disturbing to me.

Hey, I got no problem with people challenging ideas in the open.

I don't take "your organization should be destroyed, for the good of your followers, for the good of mankind' as 'challenging ideas in the open'".

The self-righteousness of the clip is as disgusting as the Scientologists are wacky.

Ya-ta, I agree with you that vandalism (they seem to be going after the scientology internet site) is bad. But I think maybe you should read about how many lives they have destroyed with their incredible propensity for litigation. Also, they publicly humiliate critics.

One dude criticized them and they put flyers all over Clearwater about an arrest he had like 10 years earlier for being a male prostitute. "fair game" is a very aggressive tactic.

So, I'm totally fine with them being slandered and aggressively attacked. It is a cult, and they are ruining lives. Vandalism is inappropriate.

If you go to yube and watch the BBC's Panorama bit on the cult, you will see how aggressive and threatening they are to critics.
