Some scilon obvious voiced their disapproval. "Omg!! I'll sue you!!" or some shit. Either that, or they have scilons working at the Gazette.

I think it's because the Gazette editors are fucking reductionist dolts who simplify the whole thing to the tired freedom of speech crap. This is why we have to hit them with the academic integrity as requisite to academic freedom argument.

Lost cause if I've ever seen one. If the Gazette is still on our media contact list, can we just take them off?

First of all, who posted this? Was it posted anonymously? I don't see a byline anywhere (unless I'm dumb, than simply disregard)
Is from their own article! All I see is that it's from The Gazette (duh) I agree with what was previously said, they're a lost cause.
Never mind the merits of an idea; when it is denounced anonymously, it's the critics who seem sinister.

Suppression of ideas? They are speaking of a cult that tries to suppress its critics!
Also noticed that this article writer appears to be anonymous as no name is credited. How are they any less sinister then ourselves?

I completely agree.

Before we get all paranoid...
It's quite common in anglo-saxon press to have unsigned editorial since it represent the opinion of the editorial team.

It's more the fact that they rag on anonymous while making an anonymous comment themselves. I don't think it's paranoia more irritation at hypocrisy.

AK is correct. Im not being paronoid, but very irratated at the article writer.

For what it's worth, they printed this letter today:

Re: "Scientologists have a right to speak, too" (Editorial, April 19).
Your editorial's plaintive title betrays a fundamental misapprehension of the issues involved.
No one denies the right of Scientologists to say whatever they want,
however wrong and untrue it might be. What some people are concerned
about, however, is the fact that they are being given a
publicly-funded, intellectual soapbox - the Atrium of Concordia
University's library building - from which to make their crackpot
claims. That is the issue.
Concordia vice-president Michael di Grappa's warm and fuzzy
post-modernist musings non obstante, the claim of the exhibit is to
tell the truth about psychiatry's abuses - nothing less. Note the
definite determiner.
I suggested in my last (unpublished) letter that perhaps the university
ought to make space available for an interactive exhibition by the Flat
Earth Society. Let me put it more bluntly: Can we expect The Gazette
editorial board to support an exhibition by something like the Ernst
Zundel Holocaust Deniers Appreciation Society? I thought not - and
rightly so.
You cavil that "tiresomely, many of Scientology's foes choose to remain
anonymous, claiming that critics have been harassed in the past." My
first letter and now this one do not fit into that category at all.
Je persiste, et je signe,

Win letter is full of well-written words. I am in much approval.
