Encyclopedia Dramatica Entry for Critics

Encyclopedia Dramatica as a rather accurate description of critics in its anti-Scientology page. Worth quoting - it's almost as if it was written by me :-)

"If one wishes, one may also troll on the "other side of the fence". That is, troll the critics of Scientology. This is often the source of many epic lulz, since critics get so caught up in their "activism" in railing against Scientology, that they often don't see that they are, themselves, becoming the very model of what a Scientologist should be.

Trolling critics is generally a longer set up that your garden variety troll, but depending on the set up can last anywhere from a couple of months to over a year. The troller should find a Scientology critic message board (Operation Clambake being the largest example thereof), create an account and once situated within the community, incite chaos by doing one (or all) of the following:

  • Declare your love/admiration/respect for L.Ron Hubbard. Add that he was brilliant.
  • Start every topic and answer every question with a Hubbard quote.
  • Say that Scientology means "Study of truth" and ask the critics why they are against truth.
  • Claim that there is actual "value" in Scientology "tech"
  • Claim that Scientology is a "bona fide" religion.
  • Say that Fair Game doesn't exist. And Xenu is an invention of ex-members.
  • Claim that Scientology "helps people become more able"
  • Say that all critics are oppressors, bigots, intolerant, Nazis etc.
  • Bad mouth psychiatry
  • Suggest to bomb the Church and say it will be a kewl terrorist attack.
  • Threaten to drop docs on someone's Powerword: IRL Name on the boards.

(Note: Threatening to drop docs, or "outing" a critic is a troll ending move, but the resultant panic generates much lulz)

Any or all of the above will brand you immediately as a "Scieno", "Clam" or the entity most dreaded by the critic "community", O.S.A. which is short for Office of Special Affairs, the "dirty tricks/litigation" arm of the Scientology "Church". Many lulz ensue as the critics bad mouth you, tell you you're stupid, that Hubbard was a mad man, sling epithets and generally attempt to butthurt you with tired, cliche arguments over and over. These critics have developed a kind of "visual stealth technology" wherein if you point out that they're acting exactly like the big, bad entity they're fighting against, blinders will come down, your observation will be either categorically denied (despite the obviousness) or ignored.

Remember: these "critics" are the ones who claim to want to "help" people exit the cult of Scientology, but seem to be the first ones to drive Scientologists running screaming right back to their E-Meters for "Life Repair Handling" or courses in shattering "Suppressive Persons" (more like Smart Persons amirite?).

Pedobear

An anti-Anonymous activist had been busy making serial posts in ARS denouncing anonymous culture as promoting pedophilia. Some of his claims can also be found on his blog, here, here, and here. He used several pages from Encylopedia Britanica to substantiate his claims. After copious insults, attacks and rationalizations, Anonymous finally removed the pics. Go on the ARS post and try to click the links. You'll get a 404. These pics, however, can still be found on the pedobear page. Funny enough, one of the rationalization used by anon was that the girl on this page obviously looks over 20. What do you think? To me, she looks around 10 or below. Strange how rationalization can even influence perceptions!
