* When you find a rumor at Xenu.net (God knows there is a whole lot of rumor on Xenu.net), and you place that rumor into the article as a rumor, and you likewise state that rumor has been legally opposed by the Church of Scientology, then you are addressing an issue that has 2 sides, you see? Both sides have taken a strong stance, both sides have made a real issue of it, both sides have spent a good deal of time and money over the issue. There are necessarily 2 sides to an issue that has been in court, do you see? Therefore, it is WRONG to present an undecided rumor into the article in such a way that your personal, biased, uneducated point of view controls or colors the reader's view of the issue.

* Scientology is composed of, perhaps, 40 million words. That is a LOT of information. Critics have created a lot of information too, though far less of it in recent years. It might be helpful for you to edit a less complex issue for a short while and read the editing commandments and talk with other editors and get the feel of this place. Though of course I'm just trying to be helpful here. [[User:Terryeo|Terryeo]] 10:15, 25 April 2007 (EDT)

::My point about the Xenu thing is not about the truths of your beliefs (although I obviously think you are deceived) but about the approach to quieting dissent. A real person of faith doesn't need to sue someone to prevent them from saying bad things about their faith; it is left up to God, and to human discussion.--[[User:JoyousOne|JoyousOne]] 10:19, 25 April 2007 (EDT)
