    Toadly!

    It can be permanent or even fatal.  The old (precult) person 
    has literally died.  A new personality, the cult presonality
    is all that is left.

    That's what the TRs are for.  To get that nasty sense of 
    humor surgically removed.
    
    Hell, I was locked in a basement for 10 days under guard for 
    making a f*cking joke!  There's even a policy about it called
    Jokers and Degraders.  I'd quote it if Judge Whyte would just
    gimme <bobcat voice>

                                           back.
