The Milestone Two blog post at
http://milestonetwo.wordpress.com/2013/06/28/why-i-remain-a-scientologist/comment-page-1/#comment-24 by Lana has elicited some interesting comments.
I actually liked Lana's "live and let live" comment in response to Theo "Ekaterina Ethier Protector" Sismanides. At

However, Lana's boyfriend Jim Logan posted a strange comment that portrays MS-2 members as victims and paints MS-2's detractors as perpetrators of hate crimes. That's right, hate crimes. Apparently the great IANAL Logan who knows more than lawyers has mistaken free speech for hate crimes:

“Hate crime laws in the United States protect against hate crimes (also known as bias crimes) motivated by enmity or animus against a protected class. Although state laws vary, current statutes permit federal prosecution of hate crimes committed on the basis of a person’s protected characteristics of race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability.” Wikipedia.
Witnessing the rabble-rousing and demagoguery emanating from several blogs, websites, recently, directed towards well-intentioned beings who simply wish to practice their religion peacefully, via Milestone Two I am reminded of the above.

Although Logan doesn't come all the way out and say that MS-2 detractors are criminals, they sure do "remind" him of criminals.
I think Lana and Jim need to get on the same page. Are MS2'ers victims or not? Is KSW Scientology a live and let live universe or not? Will this couple see eye to eye, or will they splinter further into MS-2 and MS 2-1/2? Will Logan and Hall make up and form a KSW Victim Brotherhood?
Tune in tomorrow on "Days of Our Millstone."
