Personally, I'd redirect [[Scientology]] to [[Scam]] and be done with it.

However, abusing BLPs to pursue agendas, even righteous agendas, must be unacceptable.

Indeed. But since it's inevitable so long as wikified BLPs exist, then you know to what conclusion this logically leads.

... according to Wikipedia, Kaja Ballo took a Scientology personality test and subsequently committed suicide.

Strange article -- it says she left a note, but does not specify what the note says. Would the contents of the note have been kept secret by Norwegian police? Mentioning it implies that the Scientology test provoked the suicide, but in an unverifiable way. That ought to be cleared up, or the article deleted. On the whole, though, this article is more credible than SlimVirgin's Jeremiah Duggan article.


I had the misfortune once of being strong-armed into observing a couple of my friends take a Scientology personality test. After it was over, I felt like doing someone bodily harm, not to myself, however. Anyway, good idea to start the neutrality task force. Again, if the BLPs had been left alone, this probably wouldn't be happening.

To my eternal sham until recently I confused Hubbard with Heinlein, my only excuse is they are both SciFi authors beginning with H (and I associate Heinlein with rightwing politics). A colleague tells me that one can tell the difference - Heinlein is at least readable.
