Yes, well, I could certainly detect a bit of nastiness behind Eric the Red's use of the word...a clear presumption of his own superiority to those who could find anything good to say about scientology, shall we say?

I recall, back in the early 70's, seeing stuff about scientology. I figured it was probably weird, and I wasn't interested in it, but I never actually knew anything about it worth mentioning...nor did any of the people I ever heard voicing strong opinions about it.

They were all just talking to hear themselves talk, basically.
