Wow. Someone posted a Scientology text on Slashdot. The Scientologists claimed copyright and ordered it removed. Slashdot decided not to fight that battle and removed it. But they posted tons of stuff about Scientology, including many other links where you could get the same info. How will the scientologists fight it? defamation suit? It looks like they hurt themselves more by going after Slashdot. Here's the lesson: never make a geek angry.

One of the links from the Slashdot page makes Scientology sound totally crazy, if the material in the linked document is at all reliable. It sounds like a bad science fiction story, in short, like 'Battlefield Earth'. You guessed it: same author.
