Yes, one that directly conflicts with the founding board owner's specification as to how the term relates to
this board and its membership.
What is curious is what it says of an individual who despite repeated corrections of just exactly this question over the years this board has been operating, including several corrections made by the board owner herself, nevertheless continues in promoting his own distorted views. ??? Does such behavior reflect continuing confusion, personnel delusion, a private agenda, or perhaps some other peculiar mental state? Is there perhaps a compulsive need to
evaluate others identities for them?
One can only guess.

You know what, I said FUCK FOUNDERS and SCREW SOURCES when I left Scientology.
WHO exactly has had "repeated corrections"? Please fill in the specifics.
If I had some confusion, personal delusion or distorted view about ESMB, how is it that "Gadfly" is in the top three on Likes and Thanks? That would seem impossible if what you say is true. And, also, you have almost TWICE AS MANY POSTS AS I do. My "batting average" seems to be fairly good. I suspect that it is NOT I who have the confusion, personal delusion or distorted views (about a great many things).
Also, I have never been censored or banned for any period of time. The worse it ever got was when I kept derailing Cowboy's thread because I was going viral on "Cowpoke Avatar Madness", I just couldn't contain myself, and a Mod PM'ed me a few times to STOP IT. :confused2:
Mark, I even took the time to put the damned cowpoke hat on the PARROT in your avatar!!!!!!
So, it would seem that if ESMB member concensus is any indication, I certainly have a fairly good grasp of what ESMB is all about. Yes? No? Maybe? But really, I am not asking you, because I gave up trying to have an intelligent conversation with you a long time ago. This post is for the viewers, and not really "for you".
For myself, I don't much bother talking about HOW we all discuss here. I tend to discuss Scientology and Hubbard, and not very much concern myself with "rules" and "regulations" of ESMB-land. I guess I never much cared for police mentalities.
I also came to the conclusion that people who want to use NON-COMMON and UNUSUAL definitions for what are actually
simple terms, as is done with
Scientology nomenclature, are out to mess with people and confuse them.
I really don't give a shit what anybody thinks or says "ex-Scientology"
should "mean" that is different than what the words themselves mean to most people most of the time. As I said earlier, I really don't care and don't give it any concern.
Guess what? I have NEVER spent even a second thinking about "the founding board owner's specification as to how the term relates to
this board and its membership." Does anyone REALLY care? Other than YOU? :confused2:
Go roll your eyes up your ass Baker.
Since you are getting attacking and personal, I suppose I can play too.
You know sometimes I really enjoy your posts and other times you are basically like an annoying GNAT or bug that won't stay away. I find this interesting because it displays almost
two different distinct personalities. Do you yourself notice any correlation between these fairly drastic swings in types of posts as your
mood disorder kicks in and out? You might want to keep notes for a few months, monitoring your
mood condition and the type of post that you are putting up on ESMB - who knows, there might be some connection between the two. And, maybe not.
(two can play at your inane innuendo game - not that I will play it long because I find it non-interesting and largely boring)
Did I cross a line there? But, really I AM curious about it, because I do see and notice a marked difference in the "emotion" in your posts at different times.
I will reiterate, no matter what anyone thinks or wants, no matter the "real intention of ESMB" might be, when a person newly leaves the Church of Scientology, and still harbors an attachment and like for many of or all things Hubbard, he or she will usually NOT gravitate here because the NAME ALONE,
Ex-Scientologist, is antipathetic to them. That is simply the way it is. It isn't my hope, opinion or desire. It just is what it is.
And, of course, the largely anti-Hubbard and anti-Scientology slant here won't do much to atrract them either.
Full Stop? Misconception or deliberate deceit? To whit?
