How did that end by the way?

No huge impact on Scientology as a whole, but it did raise awareness about the cult which I consider a good thing.

I would say that you characterisation of Anon as a cult is pretty accurate. A trollish, publicity-seeking cult, but a cult nonetheless.

I believe fredoliveira was calling scientology a cult, not Anonymous.

His freshly-created account in certainly not a coincidence.

I see what you did there, and wish I could down-vote you. To be clear and explicit (because my original post can indeed be interpreted wrong), when I said cult, I was referring to Scientology.

(I do find it quite ironic that you chose to troll while calling Anon "trollish" too.)

I would like to remind you of 4chan's official motto: trolls trolling trolls.

I love how the response to my ironic post is ad-hominem attacks and calls to come out with the downvote pitchforks... Are we on reddit?

I don't know, does reddit have anonymous cowards ?

nnnnnnnnnnnnever.

side note, the church did send out some aggressive DVD & pamphlet sets claiming anonymous was a terrorist organization to anyone they pegged at a protest.
