Should or Shouldn't?
My take on this subject is this:
I detest PR being used as a subject of mental manipulation (which, as I see it now) being used by M&M on their followers.
Black PR channeled solely onto DM is still a PR. Looks like now it's ok to say DM is an asshole, crim, ... (and many other names he is given in Marty's camp). It's not "entheta" anymore to say DM is THE cause of all bad things in $cn.
And PR specialists are very crafty in covering up their own involvement into those dark and bad things that have/had been going on.
Bad thing about all of this is that following offered PR stories makes followers think the same way (in our case "It's all DM!" "HE made me do it!"). In other words, followers buy into propaganda that is fed to them, stop thinking individually, unconsciously get group-think adopted, and - voila! You have another cult!
Is that a true picture of all of the ugly things in $cn? Has DM single-handedly managed all of that crap that is flying around the world? - I don't think so.
Sure thing that DM's crap hasn't influenced Russian scientologists as much as he affected Int Base SO Members. Yet, it is much of the the same here: disconnected families, ruined lives, sucked out last money.
Followers of a new cult look for more explanations and stories of why DM is bad, and ignore their own past and responsibilities.
Should someone tell his story independently, or shouldn't?
Coming clean or not is between you and you.
Not "between us girls".
Not between you and a group.
Not between you and Marty.
Not between you and ESMBers.
Not between you and the government/law enforcement.
But! Once you are clean, you KNOW you are clean. It's up to YOU to see it coming. Whether you have/will put enough efforts into that or no, is up to you.
