Cult-like Critic Behavior: Part II         


Author: Monica Pignotti
Date: Jun 12, 2008 17:58

This is a continuation, from a discussion from another thread where
"Alert" has just exhibited yet another example of cult-like behavior
in critics:
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.religion.scientology/browse_frm/thread/08f268...#

Just a few points of clarification before I continue. I am not saying
that all critics behave that way, just some, just so this doesn't get
misconstrued as a generalization. I am not directing this at Anonymous
because this kind of behavior was going on long before Anonymous came
on the scene. Anonymous seems to have triggered this kind of cult-like
behavior in certain critics, but I do not blame Anonymous for that.

Without citations your opinions are useless. "This is cult behaviour" why?
"because". Little more than a child's argument. Your experience means squat.
While you may call them a group they have no certain religious belief, so
why call them "cult-like"? I think you are just throwing the C word into the
mix to create drama. You cover it up with this "Cult-like" term, you know
what kinds of people like to create drama? Trolls do.

You must know calling them "cult-like" would hurt and offend them, yet thats
the wording you use. What does that say about you? That you enjoy hurting
people? No i don't think so, i just think you are not thinking about the
feelings of the other persons, while you have an agenda to put forth.
