    I have no beef with lawyers in general, Scott.  I believe 
    that has been clear from my postings.
    
    You obviously consider that Andy hasn't been given a fair 
    shake.  I'm certainly willing to give him the space to try 
    again to make his points.  Calling him pompus and pretentious
    is less offensive than calling ars a lynchmob, a lawless gang
    of thugs, or a cult with a party-line.
    
    Everyone's got access to the same language and equipment to 
    make their points.  Nobody's being locked in basements or 
    forced to run around trees but the scienos.
    
    Characterizing this kind of non-violent argument as "beating 
    someone up" is silly and misleading.  Perhaps you and he (and
    whoever else) should go off to alt.religion.scientology.legal
    if you take offense at the gritty texture the newsgroup you 
    started has now taken.
    
    Then we can get back to exposing the cult.
