What's really funny is that Scientology isn't going to have the basic sense to simply ignore them, which would undoubtedly cause them to lose interest.

No, they'll just keep trying to fight back, until the entirety of 4chan is in full attack mode.

Yeah, I generally hate the bandwagon "Anonymous" poo poo that 4chan promotes (along with the others), but I was discussing this with my girlfriend last night and it's actually a fairly good thing, to me.

When the CoS uses every legal recourse they have available to silence detractors, bankrupt ex-members, and basically make life miserable for people who disagree with them or try to expose their horrific practices, what other venues are there?

How do you fight a group of people with fanatical devotion and huge bankrolls, lawyer lists and exploitations of society?

You do it anonymously. You post embarassing poo poo about them. You widen the gap between them and credibility by exposing every single problem or "boo-boo" they happen to have made. At this point, what is Scientology going to do, shut down the Internet?

I'm pretty sure this is going to be the catalyst (free exchange of information about them) that ultimately weakens and screws the CoS over.

Or shows how far their hand really stretches, if they're able to stop Anonymous. But if that's the case, then maybe people will recognize them as a threat. Too many people write them off as 'cooky religion' instead of 'dangerous.'

So far most attempts to stop *chan have been like stopping a waterfall using a colander. Making more stuff public, if they can really stay anonymous, would just leave scientology looking for a neck to strangle.

No matter who loses, humanity wins.


EDIT: Assuming they keep it up, and do more things like releasing these docs. If they just drop it then they will have failed... and this is the first time I'll ever say I hope they succeed.

Check out Alanzo's post on http://www.forum.exscn.net/showthread.php?t=3442&page=2

If the power of Internet Detectivery was truly used for something good, looking for Mike Rinder might be it.

The discussion they're having in that thread is kind of interesting, if the Exscn community is willing to help and perhaps 'guide' Anon, there's certainly some potential. The problem will be striking a balance between Anon's autonomy and a guiding, knowledgeable hand from the Exscn community. If Anon heeds the advice in that thread, they could do some real damage.

4chan is the brainchild of several old SA posters, not the other way around. Other than that SA has as much to do with them and the CoS as anyone else reading about this and commenting on it's stupidity. Which is not much of anything at all.
