That is a false assertion.
Furthermore, you have no way of knowing what comments were disallowed as they are pre-moderated so nobody but the poster and the moderators ever see them.

Thanks for the laugh, Marty. This from the guy who nukes every post that questions Hubbard and KSW.

b (1) : not requiring or relying on something else : not contingent <an independent conclusion> (2) : not looking to others for one’s opinions or for guidance in conduct (3) : not bound by or committed to a political party
c (1) : not requiring or relying on others (as for care or livelihood) <independent of her parents> (2) : being enough to free one from the necessity of working for a living <a person of independent means>
d : showing a desire for freedom <an independent manner>
I post this as food for thought for anyone clinging to remnants of Scientology cult think. I have observed a lot of noise stemming from what I consider remnant cult, group think perhaps instilled by the Radical Corporate church of Scientology.

I suspect Mark may have been using a somewhat different definition of "tool" than the one you reference. See http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=toolUniversally recognized as the nasty tool of whom?
He was probably reluctant to suggest Word Clearing. Me, not-so-much.No answer? <snip silly stuff>

Perhaps our Russian and Ukranian Indie friends will provide some clarification. I am willing to bet the over-the-top Idle Org violated ethnics and played a large part in this. I have learned a bit about the Russian economy of late and can surmise for that knowledge that Miscavige’s grand event in that climate was probably taken by most as an arrogant slap in the face.

I couldn’t see the video clip when I clicked on the link. I went to Youtube and tried to find it. No luck. But I did find this, it looks like the Russians don’t take kindly to being messed with by a cult.

Thanks Tony,
So what we have is org staff routing in students, convincing them to give up thier studies, quit the university, give the org all their money and work for $10 a week.
Let’s see, I wonder if any of the retards from the org surveyed that as a socially acceptable and in ARC with the community idea????
Methinks not. After all…they know best!
I'm politely suggesting that you're using the wrong definition.Are you taking Terril's place as Baker's tag team partner? I hope not.
I'm aware of the definition of "tool." A tool - referring to a person - is one who is used. As you so noted: "One who lacks the mental capacity to know he's being used."
Well, who is this "universally recognized" tool being used by?
Dunno? <snip....>
I'm politely suggesting that you're using the wrong definition.
What you're supposed to do is look at some alternate definitions such as the link I provided (you could try this http://onlineslangdictionary.com/meaning-of/tool ), read the OTHER definitions of "tool" and try to find an alternate definition which might possibly apply in this instance.
Then you're supposed to use the word in sentences until you can demonstrate correct usage. The above post, where you choose to demonstrate "being a tool" rather than using it in sentences is perfectly OK with me but it is kinda squirrelly Word Clearing Tech.
Still, whatever works for you.
In the context that it was presented, the definition of the word "tool" is as I stated, and even as you stated.
What you're suggesting is that I perform the necessary mental gymnastics or contortions to make Baker's botched comment make sense.
Gee, that sounds like Scientology.
I don't really mind this silliness. It's amusing watching Baker's camp of FZ Scientologists (he's their unofficial representative on ESMB), who are currently feuding with the Rathbun camp of Independent Scientologists, occasionally close ranks and march in lock step when their shared "applied philosophy" is being attacked by "Earth people."
MORE imaginary conspiracies, V?
Being you must be very difficult.
