Once you get used to being derided for having silly ideas you're free to have any ideas you want.

It's hardly a prerequisite though you seem to think so...

There is no *right* not to be considered an ass and no right to have your fondly held delusions respected. This forum and the internet is not an axe handle and being rejected, lampooned or mocked is not being 'suppressed'.
If you want to believe nonsense and do so publicly, noone will stop you.

The Scientology that you practice includes deception and manipulation tech.
When this is noted, you complain of "vicious and vitriolic critics."
That may be the case, but how about facts that are true in your own experience but which you'd have trouble demonstrating to anyone else? I've been derided on here (no names no pack drill) purely for saying I've had positive experiences of auditing which have established its validity for me. Or been told I'm imagining it etc.
Why can't people respect each other's right to hold their own opinions based on experience?

And there's no *right* to not be considered a fuckwitted bully, nitpicker or just all round jerk, either, though it appears that some may think so. This forum and the internet is not an axe handle and being rejected, lampooned or mocked by the recipient of such communication is not being suppressed.

Hubbard indoctrinated us, as scientologists, to consider criticism and disagreement as "suppression" and an indicator of "hate", "bank", overts and suppressive characteristics.
In real life, "wogs" may or may or may not feel hurt by disagreement. Unfortunately they often do harbour resentment over criticism. But in interpersonal communication, generally there is actually no black and white, right or wrong, agreed upon in the "wog" world.
Old Ronnie capitalised on the hurt that disagreement can naturally cause, by labelling it as "suppressive" and making the critic wrong and the criticised right. It was one of the victim techniques that he used to make men his "slaves" as he set himself up as the explainer and solution for one's hurt. (PTS/SP tech and "reality"/"invalidation"). He converted complicated grey areas of interpersonal relationships to a simplistic polarity. Doing this, he was using his stable datum/confusion tech to control his slaves thinking and reactions.
Hubbard was a great believer in the confusion/stable datum tech, he just ommitted to point out to us how much he used it in a reverse black-tech way to replace our confusions with his simplistic ideas in order to control our thinking and behaviour and beliefs. The cunning sod!
Unfortunately Scn trained us to see things as very black or white, "theta" or "suppressive". This often takes some time to recover from. Criticism of scientology is a direct challenge to Hubbard's hypnotic brainwashing and an opportunity to let go of the simplistic dichotomous ideas he fixed in us.
Scientologists cannot help but see criticism as "hate", "bank" and "suppressive" because they are "stable datum" implanted scientologists. I was one once!Makes me feel very sorry for scientology dupes like Miscavige, Rathbun, Cruise and Travolta.
See? How hard was that?
