Scientology Trolls Again
From Ask the Scientologist
I wrote about the rather annoying and self-embarrassing Scientology Trollsbefore, but there is something else I’ve noticed that I don’t think has been discussed much.
I think that many posters don’t understand what is going on when Scientology trolls appear in a discussion. They think that we’re all discussing Scientology; we’re debating Scientology; we’re going back and forth about Miscavige’s Church of Scientology’s lies, crimes, abuses and fraud. Critics of Scientology are working to expose and document these things and the Scientology trolls (they think) are defending, explaining and arguing aboutthat.
Nope. Couldn’t be further from the truth.
Oh, yes, the critics certainly are working to expose and document the Church of Scientology’s lies, crimes, abuses and fraud, but the Scientology trolls are not arguing about that. Take a look. The Scientology troll’s postsignore and avoid those subjects.
The Scientology troll’s only job is to distract, derail, “enturbulate” and bury any thread that mentions anything negative about Scientology. That is all.
And they do exactly that.
Time and again I’ve seen a thread about one or more of David Miscavige’s lies, crimes, abuses and fraud get sidetracked by a Scientology troll. When that happens, the troll has succeeded in their job.
You might think that the troll would be concerned that they inevitably give Scientology and all Scientologists a bad image by their insults, crazy statements, false accusations and general stupidity, but (this is important)they don’t care!
You see, their job, which they get “stat” points for, is to distract, derail, “enturbulate” and bury threads about Scientology’s lies, crimes abuses and fraud. If they look like complete idiots, but accomplish that goal, they “win”. Their “stats are up!”
They are playing a different game. They are not arguing about Scientology. They will never argue about Scientology. They won’t justify their statements. They won’t explain or defend Scientology’s actions. They never will answer questions about Scientology.
Their false accusations are ironic. It is ironic because Hubbard said that criminals will accuse others of doing what the criminal is, in fact, doing. The Scientology trolls will inevitably accuse everyone of what Scientology is guilty of: Bigotry, intolerance, lying, making up stuff, hate speech, hate crimes and running intelligence operations against their enemies. Ron saidthey’d do it and the criminal Church of Scientology does it.
If posters react to the troll’s false accusations, the troll “wins”. If posters react to the troll’s insults, the troll “wins”. If posters argue about wild statements the troll made, the troll “wins”. When posters go away from the subject of Miscavige’s and his church’s lies, crimes, abuses and fraud — they are then wrangling about subjects of the troll’s choosing, and the troll “wins”.
The troll does not care one bit that he makes Scientologists look stupid, paranoid, crazy, brainwashed, etc. There are no “negative points” for such things. If the thread veers off from the lies, crimes, abuses and fraud of Miscavige and his church, he “wins”, he gets his little points.
Understand the real game going on. Critics of Scientology are working to expose and document these lies, crimes, abuses and fraud and Miscavige’s Church of Scientology, through its trolls, is working to hide them.
They know they cannot disprove the facts. They know they have absolutely no proof of their claims. These church operatives know they have no defense against the truth. The only thing they can do is desperately try to hide theirlies, crimes, abuses and fraud.
So the absolutely worst thing you can do to a Church of Scientology troll is — ignore those attempts , ignore those insults, ignore those false accusations and go back to the subject that the troll is attempting to stop. If Miscavige and his little troll-people hate it, then it must be good, keep on it.
