Gawker is being bullied by Scientology's lawyers for continuing to post Tom Cruise's insane rant video, which has been removed from almost every other venue that presented it. The blogging network was sent the usual request to remove the offending clips, but has thus far refused to comply, and answered Scientology with the following:
We are using this video in the context of news reporting and critical commentary, which are uses that may not be authorized by your client, but which serve the public interest. For this, and other reasons, we believe our use is fair. We further do not accept that we have broken any criminal laws in publishing it, and in any event, several of the statues you cite are inapplicable in this case.
We therefore believe that we are entirely within our rights to publish this video and as such we cannot comply with your removal request.
Good for you Gawker. If Crabbie had posted that video and gotten a letter from Cruise's lawyers, he would've taken the thing down in four seconds flat, and sent a groveling reply back. But not you. You have guts. And lots of money to pay your own lawyers with. And you're not hosted by Blogger who can people's sites at the merest hint of trouble.

Of course you would remove it. You are all talk and no action. Girly man. bok bok bok
I believe "Elron" was a semi-functional Paranoid Schizophrenic who successfully tapped into other's fears in an attempt at alleviating his own. Paranoid Schizophrenics fear everything; but nothing more than authority figures. And since doctors are authority figures the doctors they're most afraid of are naturally psychiatrists.
All I can say is that Tom is so needy and insatiable where his ego is concerned (nothing less than world savior would satisfy him) that he's lost all ability to reason. Any fool can get online and figure out WHY Scientologists are so paranoid. I don't know of any other "religion" on earth that goes to such great time consuming and expensive lengths to keep everything shrouded in secrecy.
I once read an account of a journalist who went to Germany with the intention of exposing the evils of Adolph Hitler and upon attending one of his "public events" found himself sucked into the vortex himself. Adolph was a master at manipulating people's emotions through lighting, visual displays, mannerisms, specific words, body language, etc. Scientology is using similar techniques as seen in this video.
