In my timezone you posted this at 2:45 pm today. Sometime today I was thinking about sparrow and thought about replying to an old thread or starting a new one. I remember looking forward to his videos 2 or 3 times a week. He was so entertaining. And the changing attitude of the staff towards him was very funny to watch. From hotdogs to SP declares they brought it. I'm so glad it's all on yt.
Nice AnonKat
here's a pic I found
Hi Kat,
I was AFK when you posted this thread, I think. Sparrow and I have talked many times, and including after he settled. Here's the bottom line:
1) Sparrow thought that he'd be protesting about 6 months, but the legal battle went 2 years.
2) He was concerned that because of the money and willingness of scientologists to lie, he might actually lose his case.
3) He settled for the amount of his legal fees only, just to GTFO of it and let his life return to normal.
4) He cannot protest in DC or NY.
5) He misses it.
DO YOU REALIZE THAT THAT IS FUCKING UNCONSTITUTIONAL !
GOD DAMNED, at least my little dwarf country got something right in 1993, Freedom of religion and speaach come before copyright.
It was his choice and I respect it.
POST GAME:
1) A single ex-scientologist causes happypants with many anons, shitstorm ensues at the DC org. Sparrow is loved and an instant icon.
2) A single stupid scientologist makes a death threat to sparrow, and it's on video. This stupid scientologist was also running for a district seat in a school district of color, and was surely hoping to infiltrate the black school district. How convenient: that same school district has a website in which you may post videos and comments! The video of him went up, and I typed a nice comment or two. Many lulz harvested and tragedy averted.
3) Sparrow originally estimated that he could bring the org down in six months time, and it went into overtime because of the bogus suit. Bogus suit is bogus and sucks up two years - this gets old, even with the support of anonymous. But even more, he was concerned with the possibility of losing the case, and in his career, one cannot have a felony record. The odds of the bogus charge sticking were very slim, but another thing that ends up on the scales of decision making.
4) Right after the cult filed the bogus suit, sparrow files a petition with the FDA, to uphold the judges previous order on the e-meter. Although the FDA wimped, it was still something that might have rattled the Dwarf a little. Definitely worth the price of a postage stamp. A second attempt by someone with the FDA is probably inevitable. Persistence has been known to pay off.
I am recently returned to this site, and new.... I totally support all actions to destroy the destructive cult. I was a member for 27 years, and declared for wanting my(staff member) now ex husband, to be home once or twice a week.
Love to all.
I thought he was the one of the best Ex-Co$ protesters on the Internet. To be honest I wish he could have continued to have a presence on YouTube, if not talking about Scientology, then moving on to some other topic. He is missed.
