I can't help but wonder if you are duct taped in a basement somewhere, and a feverish cultie has taken over your keyboard.
Your recent, unjustified tirade against the Lisa McPherson Trust and Bob Minton comes at a time when they are under heavy pressure from the cult, not only in court, but in the NG. Besides the usual gang of cotse idiots, we now have a couple of free range morons adding their voices.
Why you have chosen to join them is beyond me. Whether you agree with the Trust or not, their goals are honorable. Now is the time they need a show of support, not attacks from so-called allies.
It appears that you are slipping into the same transparent tactics the cult is so fond of using. Your reading comprehension skills are slipping. You are, in fact, using the same tactics as the cult when putting forth your theory that the Trust is a pack of lying scum, and your defense of your position is straight out of cotse.
Let's have a look, shall we?
1. You deliberately twist other people's words to suit your agenda.
Example: I post that by attacking the Trust, you are doing OSA's work for them. Your response? You holler that I said you are working for OSA.
A bright fourth grader could make the discernment between these two statements. What the hell is wrong with you?
2. You deliberately omit pertinent information to support your position.
Example: You yammer on about the egregious behavior of Bob Minton regarding the unauthorised digitising of a fragment of The Profit. You howl that they broke an agreement, while failing to acknowledge that it was actually the TFC which broke a contract by failing to supply the Trust with the final version of the film in a timely fashion.
3. You attempt to take a statement out of context and apply it to a different situation altogether.
Example: When Bob Minton said he was in it "for the long haul," he was not referring to the current court case against Scientology for the death of Lisa McPherson. He was referring to the Trust in Clearwater not giving an inch until the cult either is reformed or disbanded.
When did you start seeing the world through ScienoVision? (tm) You're doing an awfully good imitation of a cult shill.
You seem to think, from your sickeningly self-righteous position, that Bob should keep throwing money down the maelstrom of court crap the cult is so famous for. The object of a lawsuit is not to win, remember?
They will keep at this until the money is gone. You know that. What the fuck is your problem? To recognise when to cut your losses in a lose-lose situation is just good sense. Bob probably didn't get to be a millionaire by being irresponsible with his money.
What exactly is your reason for this recent attack? Do you want to convince everyone that the Trust is a terrible organization run by a horrible man? Is it agreement you're looking for?
Do you want everyone to withdraw their support of the the Trust and turn their backs on it?
Do you want the Trust to close its doors for good?
Odd...I can think of one other group who might share these goals.
Perhaps you will be receive a subpoena to appear in Clearwater. After all, Bob Minton DID buy you a freaking round trip plane ticket to Clearwater. (the unspeakable cad!) And while you're there, hey, maybe you can take the stand for the defense, and tell the court what an awful, dishonest, corrupt organization the Lisa McPherson Trust really is. If you're looking for an audience who will pay close attention, you'll certainly find it there! Despite the fact that Ken Dandar will probably tear your silly opinions and speculations to shreds, I'm sure the defense will benefit.
Why, they'll probably even provide you with another round trip plane ticket for your service! An audience AND free airfare! You can't lose!
Oh, I almost forgot. The defendant is Scientology. The case is about the death of Lisa McPherson. That's almost getting buried in the mound of shit being hurled at the Trust these days. You'd almost think that they were the defendants! It's good that we have people like Ultramoron, tigger, Lex, the Cotse culties and now you to keep that in the forefront and make it a greater issue than the death of a young woman.
So tell me; what is more important than the people who call the Trust daily seeking help and information?
There is nobody out there doing more to help the victims of this predatory organization, Scientology than the Lisa McPherson Trust. You don't have to agree with them. You don't have to like them. But you sure the fuck don't have to attack them at a time when support from us is needed.
Your stupid insistence that "everybody must support Bob because he has money" is idiotic and frankly, I'm surprised at your boneheaded stubbornness in persisting in that delusion.
Bob doesn't call the shots.
Bob doesn't give the orders.
What Bob IS doing, is putting his money where his mouth is. He didn't have to move to the belly of the beast in Clearwater. He didn't have to open up the Trust.
So you have a web page, big fucking deal. So you answer some email, again, bfd. So you picket a few times a year, big fucking whoop.
Bob and the staff of the Trust are out there on the front lines every day! They can't have normal lives in the shadow of the Ft. Harrison.
They are always looking over their shoulders, and with good reason. This kind of stress is wearing, it put Bob in the hospital.
So you just think about that while you're sitting on your ass in your nice little Scientology-free apartment. None of us are in any position to criticise these brave people. Each one of them has a big-ass target painted on their backs that only clams can see.
You have made your opinions known. Your motives are a mystery. Are you angry about something, and venting it on the Trust? Are you jealous?
Whatever, it's not important. What is important is that you have aligned
yourself with a bunch of Scientology clones, peculiar and unexplained
people with agendas such as tigger, Lex and ultrafuckhead, and currently
are contributing nothing of value to the conflict against the Crime
Cult.
