I have found most scnos incredibly arrogant, LOL. But I get what you mean. Just as scnos think they know all there is to know - and have all the answers, those exes and anons who think they know it all and have all the answers come off just as arrogant. A closed mind cannot see anything other than own viewpoint. There is no tolerance for differences in such a mind . . .
People need to respect and be tolerant of the beliefs of others. The problem comes up though when someone is a total believer in a harmful cult, like scno/co$. I feel we have to try to get the brainwashed to wake up . . .
Now scno outside co$ is probably not a cult (yet), but I think the totalitarianism of scno/co$ is built into the tech. Given time, it WILL recreate itself, and become what it has become in the co$. The co$ was bad and abusive right from the beginning - almost - certainly by the time people were being tossed off the boat, and kids were being held prisoner in the chain locker . . . . It just got worse from there.
The track record of co$/scno is horrendous. That is what I am basing my opinion of co$/scno on - its own tack record (of abuses and criminality). Sociopathic, like lrh and dm. I feel an obligation to try and get people out. I am just not very good at that, because I don't have the patience to slowly peel the eyelids back on the truth staring scnos in the face, but they cannot see, because they have been brainwashed. The exes are better at it, because they have been through it (and for those who don't know, I never considered myself a scno - I took a few courses, and figured it out, how evil it was, and got the hell out - terrified by what I had seen and experienced - and that was decades ago - the people had good intentions, but they were tricked, most evil by co$/scno tech). I knew then it would be a long hard battle.
Anything as secretive and elitist as scno, of course, will eventually lead to that end - of toltalitarianism - and horrid abuses of power. But that is just my opinion, and maybe that comes off as arrogant . . . ???? If so, sorry to offend. I am just so adamantly opposed to scno/co$ - because of the abuses - of power - and the enslavement, imprisonment and trafficking of peoples, and the disrespect inherent in the teachings, calling outsiders 'wogs' and raw meat. That is vile. And all that is inherent in the tech . . . IMHO.
But nobody likes a know-it-all arrogant ass . . . .
