A lot of it is lack of information, which is one of the reasons the cult's
been suffering badly of late -- too easy to get information now.

<shrug> That's not a new thing either though, people have been
seeking help with the harrasment and leaking docs since before there was
an internet, and most got support somewhere.
I guess people have stopped looking at these things as individual
cases, and like you say there's a critical mass out there who all see it
the same way. Be interesting to see if it keeps kicking up, and how the
scientologists will adapt; maybe they'll just pretend it isn't happening.
