I am still around. Got sucked into reading more. I was never a troll or OSA. And I doubt Clarkkent is either. Up until his last post he seemed to genuinely want to discuss his thoughts. Then sadly like what happened with me, a few get defensive and then he was put in a position to defend himself. It's hard to share what you're thinking and feeling when you get into a defensive mode.
I didn't see any inconsistencies or any unusual pattern in his posts other than it started genuine and got defensive. The last post he made was confusing. But he could have been messing with some of you because of the way he was being treated by some. No one likes to be called a troll when they are putting their feelings on the line for all to see.
In my opinion, unless someone new comes on here with a full on hatred of Scientology and all that is involved, they look suspicious to some of you. I hope that for the good of new members searching for answers that some of you can learn to be more tolerant and understand that some people really do have to experience the abuse for themselves to share your hatred of Scientology practices or the church itself. Some people really are counting on you to understand the place they are in and offer advice based on where they are in their journey.
Of course there are some really wonderful people here that do just that. For me, I hope Clarkkent has thick skin and was able to weed through and pull out what helpful advice was given and brush off the rest.
Nah! - We're actually very tolerant of Scientology.. Take me for example, I'm ok with Scientology as long as it's buried 3 feet deep in a cesspool!<snip> unless someone new comes on here with a full on hatred of Scientology and all that is involved, they look suspicious to some of you.</snip>
And before it is said, I am not Clarkkent and I think your admin people can verify different IP addresses to prove that.
Well, any competent troll would have thought of that, wouldn't they?
And they might even have thought of providing a phone number for The Friend.
And behold the coincidence: Superman flies off and his place is immediately taken by JW. Who has nothing to say but evidently didn't like the peace that was breaking out.
Or do I have a nasty suspicious mind?
Just to get the thread back [STRIKE]off[/STRIKE]on track

... Since then I've taken a whole new approach to life, mostly defined by being as honest and truthful to myself (the biggest one) and others as possible. That what's true for you is true for you is a big one. So is treat others as you would like to be treated. So much of what is written in these books seems so workable and true I'm just curious what would you, now having been through all that you have been through, and certainly after being members of COS recommend someone in my position? ...
I think I'll just mosey on down to the RESF (Rabidly Ex Smokers' Forum) and see where I can get some Camel Lights, all the shops around here haven't been able to get them for weeks now.
Awh c'mon they are LIGHT.
Not like I am using filterless or anything.
Why so touchy? You used to smoke too.
It's not all bad, look the reduced tar ones taste good.
Waaaaaaaah!
I will never recommend this board to anyone. You are so mean.
For the love of god, where on the internet would ANYONE go to an ex-whatever site to find out information about anything they have ex-ed from? Where?!!!

Hi again, Jenn. Fancy meeting you here.
Different IP address? But any competent troll would have thought of that, wouldn't they? Even I know what that's all about.
And they might even have thought of providing a phone number for The Friend. Phone numbers are two a penny these days.
And behold the coincidence: Superman flies off and his place is immediately taken by JW. Who evidently didn't like the peace that was breaking out and who has nothing to say about The Friend but is now defending Superman, geddit?

... As far as IP addresses go, I was told by a programmer that they are dynamic, that they change. ...
. . . <snip> . . . Auditing can when applied by an auditor without an exploitative intent can be extremely helpful to a person . . .
Assuming that "auditing" is not inherently exploitative, in what way, specifically, can auditing be "extremely helpful"? DOX PLOX and, no, success stories don't count.
