We Got Tattled On
Posted by Frank J. at 12:45 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (44)

I don't like to irk fans of my site, but I thought I'd share this (since who wrote it was nice enough to share it to me). This is a report I assume filed to this site.

Knowledge Report
Frank Fleming
Blogger known as "Cadet Happy"

On Thursday, June 30, 2005 around 12:30pm, I was reading a web log called IMAO (In My Arrogant Opinion) which is a political humor blog. It is one of my favorite web logs (or blogs) and I frequent it regularly.

Today, there was a entry posted by "Tom Cruise" with doctored images of the E-Meter and promoting altered tech and claiming it was Scientology. The posting was supposed to be humorous but is meant to ridicule Scientology and Tom Cruise. A link to the article is below.

http://www.imao.us/archives/cat_why_me_laugh.html

The owner of this site is Frank J. Fleming. However, it is a group blog (meaning that is has more than one participant posting to the blog). The article is titled "Carnival of Comedy" and was posted by the blogger who calls himself "Cadet Happy"

I did not read the article in full (seeing that it did have altered tech in it). But I did leave a comment about how most of that weird stuff on the Net about Scientology is to make Scientologists and Scientology look weird and said if anyone wanted to know the truth about Scientology that they should ask me via email.

This is true.

(NOTE: The link doesn't point to the article anymore because I didn't like it in that category.)

Here are the reasons for report filings including:

* Any misrepresentation of Dianetics or Scientology.
* Any person who is hypercritical of Scientology or the Church.
* Publicly departing Scientology.
* Public statements against Scientology or Scientologists but not to Committees of Evidence duly convened.
* Anyone forbidding or advising against the writing of Knowledge Reports.
* Anyone refusing a confessional or refusing to answer a reading question.
* Anyone implanted this lifetime.
* Any person who acts Type III PTS (Potential Trouble Source).
* Any students or preclears who seek to resign or leave courses or sessions and refuse to return despite normal efforts.

I don't think this post violates any of that.

Screw the Scientologists...with a jackhammer.

What are they going to do, send the secret Scientology police after you and take away your blog?

#1 - Posted by: Steve the Pirate on July 1, 2005 12:50 PM

What does "Anyone implanted this lifetime." mean? It's sounds scary and intrusive.

#2 - Posted by: Dr. Phat Tony on July 1, 2005 12:57 PM

I figured implanted means that someone got impregnated, someone got new breasts, or got screwed with a jackhammer.

Am I anywhere close?

#3 - Posted by: Ricky on July 1, 2005 01:04 PM

Wow. The more I hear- the more seriously I take these nuts- the more guns I feel the need to purchase. This list makes them look nuttier and more dangerous than any article on the net IMO. Why report something if nothing is going to happen to those you reported? Hello, this is America!

If Christians were instructed to report all instances of just one of those things on "the creepy list" we'd have to quit our jobs, eat caffeine tablets like candy, and report others 24/7. Funny how so many of who we'd be reporting are those who report to the Church of Scientology.

Well, more ironic than funny maybe.

#4 - Posted by: Uber on July 1, 2005 01:12 PM

The important question is this...

Will it bring us more traffic?

BTW, my favorit part was where the tattler didn't read the article.

I quot Todd (or was it Rod) from the Simpsons: "Oh My friggin' ears"

#5 - Posted by: RightWingDuck on July 1, 2005 01:15 PM

I think the important thing we can learn here is that this individual finally settled, once and for all, just what the heck "IMAO" stands for. I'm so glad- that question has been making my brain hurt for eons now.

#6 - Posted by: Army NCO Guy on July 1, 2005 01:18 PM

We had similar problems with a loon who considered himself a vampire hunter (no, really!), one Mr. Sean Manchester. It would appear that one of his "enemies" made a comment on our website about some unrelated thing (Robin Hood society, I think), he found it, then made some nasty comments (under the nom-de-plume of, variously, "the Society of St. George" and "friends of Bishop Sean Manchester"), which started this bizzare third-party flame war that went back and forth for several weeks. Eventually Manchester decided to take his ball and go home, and demanded the entire thing be torn down. We refused, simply because we don't like being told what to do.

He first rattled the cages of our host provider, and when that went nowhere he rattled the cages of their host provider. Since "tier 2" actually had some assets in the UK, we were instructed to take the content in question down, which we did, just long enough to move the entire site to a (confirmed US-only) host.

Mr. Sean Manchester then proceeded to try and rattle their cages, getting only a "bugger off you daft maniac" for his troubles. I think they eventually had to put a kook filter on his address so they wouldn't have to see his messages.

Can't figure right off who your host provider is, but if it's Hosting Matters and you're staying within THEIR posting guidelines you should be fine. Well, within the limits provided by the 1st amendment versus the power of a rich organized quasi-religion filled with loons.

Now, where'd I put that foil hat again?

#7 - Posted by: scott on July 1, 2005 01:22 PM

The above might've made more sense had I noted that Mr. Sean Manchester and his various "enemies" live in the UK.

#8 - Posted by: scott on July 1, 2005 01:25 PM

You know what I REALLY hate, people who say that they're a fan of the site, or regular reader - and then they confuse Frank J. with cadet happy!!

#9 - Posted by: RightWingDuck on July 1, 2005 01:32 PM

Ducky,
No, the report distinguishes between me and Cadet. I ain't done nut'n wrong!

#10 - Posted by: Frank J. on July 1, 2005 01:34 PM

I think you've got good grounds for a counter suit. You've never acknowledged that IMAO stands for anything and the "tattler" has presumed to expand the acronym without your permission. I 'got a guy' who can take care of this punk, if you know what I mean...

#11 - Posted by: Plea Deal on July 1, 2005 01:40 PM

"A" = Arrogant? Who knew? In the immotal words of Maynard James Keenan "F**K L Ron. Hubbard and F**K all his clones"

#12 - Posted by: JoshG on July 1, 2005 01:41 PM

Scientologists say that the Jews control Hollywood to hide the fact that it's the Scientologists who control Hollywood.

Of course, we accuse them because it's to hide the fact that we Jews control Hollywood.

This is all a plot by Karl Rove, who controls Hollywood.

#13 - Posted by: Laurence Simon on July 1, 2005 01:45 PM

haha "in my arrogant opinion" haha i thought he was just stating that he was arrogant and thought imao was a political humor blog. it would help if i didnt skip over the word "which" but oh well it was funnier the way i read it... made the moonbat look even stupider....

#14 - Posted by: AJ on July 1, 2005 01:51 PM

Sorry, Frank, I interpreted the first lines to mean they were combining you and Cadet Happy into one person. WHich is another completely different rumor.

Let us not forget

HEY, How come nobody ever Tattles on me? I offend lots of people!!

#15 - Posted by: RightWingDuck on July 1, 2005 01:51 PM

Want to have a real laugh at their expense? This guy explains a bunch of the secrets (like "implanting") on this site: xenu.com

Fun stuff but I was bummed that he doesn't reveal the secret hand shake.

#16 - Posted by: koond0g on July 1, 2005 02:04 PM

CoS is a scary beast. If you've been plugged into the Net long enough, you may remember some of their thuggish actions. Look at the Electronic Frontier Foundation page on Scientology cases:
http://www.eff.org/legal/cases/Scientology_cases/

#17 - Posted by: elgato on July 1, 2005 02:17 PM

Aw man, the Scientologists are coming after you now.

Now when anyone googles "IMAO", there will be a blurb on the bottom that says "In response to a complaint we received under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed all result(s) from this page."

Then the lawyers are coming to take you away. Your guns won't protect you then!

They have actually sued people on the net before. The nutcases.

#18 - Posted by: Pluto's Dad on July 1, 2005 02:19 PM

Better watch out Frank! Don't you know that the only religions that are safe to mock in this PC age are Judaism and Christianity? We can't have smarty-pants like you running around pointing out how the members of the "religion of peace" regularly cut off their victims heads, or that the Scientologists are a bunch of crackpots that worship a mediocre Sci-fi author (one who isn't worthy of changing the oil in Arthur C. Clarks golf cart).

And don't even think about posting the 10 Commandments. That could offend the Adulterers, Murderers and Theives out there.

Remember, only you can prevent thought crime.

#19 - Posted by: Exile on July 1, 2005 02:26 PM

It would be rather interesting to see Frank lounging in an orthopedic chair, reading Dianetics and trying to figure out if the "auditing" is a cult scheme or an IRS ploy. (Like there's a big difference)

#20 - Posted by: Moe on July 1, 2005 02:38 PM

I missed the story! Where can I find the page?

#21 - Posted by: SlapHappy on July 1, 2005 02:47 PM

I scanned thru the eff's docs of CoS's court cases. These are some strange characters. Why does a church or a religion/cult need "trade secrets"? Is accepting Christ as your savior a trade secret? No wonder the MSM doesn't do much with these stories. It's liberal logic on steriods.

#22 - Posted by: Ricky on July 1, 2005 02:52 PM

Now you understand the power of the Travolta!

Now to make this an even bigger issue than it needs to be...

FUN FACTS ABOUT SCIENTOLOGY

-They invented the internet

-If you are bit by a Scientologist, you become one.

-You need to win at least twelve Oscars to become a grand wizard

-Blogging is not considered a sin until you touch yourself in an impure way.

-L. Ron Hubbard Didn't really exist. He was just used as a cover so Jews could beat up on the Irish.

-The lil sailor dude on the Craker Jacks box; Scientologist.
-So is his dog

-Scientology is actually a secret division of AMWAY!

-Unlike other religions, Scientology has no animal sacrifice in its origins. You do, however, have to french kiss a goat once a year!

...AND THE BIGGEST SECRET ABOUT SCIENTOLOGY...

-Never use the bathroom after a Scientologist. Very foul!

Sorry Frankj, I just couldnt resist!

note to all Scientologists reading this: If you find any offense in what I just posted, May I suggest a Parker Brothers game for you. Its a whodunit type mystery board game where you get to play detective. It's called Clue. GET ONE!

#23 - Posted by: Bozark on July 1, 2005 02:53 PM

Frank,

While I tend to come off as jovial and easygoing these days, the fact is that I'm still widely considered a fairly scary guy with ties to some other fairly scary guys.
I used to live in FL.
The big CoS HQ is in FL.
Now I live in CO.
I feel safer, both for myself and my daughter.

Draw conclusions at will.

-MuscleDaddy

#24 - Posted by: MuscleDaddy on July 1, 2005 03:08 PM

Messing with weirdos like those can give you a bad hair day.

Watch your 6, Frank.

#25 - Posted by: on July 1, 2005 03:11 PM

I thought IMAO stood for My Ass Off.

#26 - Posted by: Beo on July 1, 2005 03:41 PM

No, as FrankJ says, IMAO stands for Freedom!

#27 - Posted by: Greg on July 1, 2005 04:02 PM

I just read the wiki on Xenu the Warrior Princess. Quite simply, words do not express the depth of my desire to find a wall and strike it repeatedly with my head.

Now I understand why Travolta thought "Battlefield Earth" was a good idea for a movie. It all makes sense now.

They're crack-smoking idiots.

#28 - Posted by: coffeeachiever on July 1, 2005 04:42 PM

wikipedia has a bunch of good stuff on those freaks. for some strange reason i found myself reading up on them today. my bf was going on and on about hating Xenu, and after reading the stuff about him i understand why. Xenu is a lot like future Bush but from 78 million years ago. total bum deal. you know just like hitler. I think they have him locked in a cage somewhere and Karl rove gets instructions from him. check out all thestuff on http://www.xs4all.nl/~kspaink/index.html
Karien got sued by them a few years ago and managed to win (go dutch!) it's good for atl east a week of humor FrankJ go for it!!!

#29 - Posted by: Tim on July 1, 2005 04:49 PM

Ducky, nobody is going to admit to being offended by you 'cause you're MEXICAN. You are retribution free, baby. Live it up!

#30 - Posted by: Plea Deal on July 1, 2005 05:12 PM

Really Plea Deal?

I didn't know that.

BTW, you're all a bunch of Crackers.

#31 - Posted by: RightWingDuck on July 1, 2005 05:16 PM

Aw. Don't despair Ducky. I fixed ya up by reporting your cracker comments to white supremacists. Heh, just kidding, don't send the goon squad!

#32 - Posted by: Uber on July 1, 2005 06:46 PM

Come to think of it, Ducky would be the perfect new member of SCOTUS. Just be really Mexican and you'll sail thru the confirmation process. Then you can wreak conservative rightwingduck hell on the libs.

#33 - Posted by: Plea Deal on July 1, 2005 06:53 PM

Well, FrankJ, I think the vote is in! You know whose side we're on, as if anyone even needed to ask. Some people take themselves way too seriously.

Come on Ducky, you know we love you!

#34 - Posted by: Leuthen on July 1, 2005 06:58 PM

A friend of mine that I used to work with was in a small...I'll loosely use the term "pro" wrestling promotion outA friend of mine that I used to work with was in a small...I'll loosely use the term "pro" wrestling promotion out of San Francisco called Incredibly Strange Wrestling (ISW.) They had such lovable characters as "El Homo Loco" as well as some other fun loving characters like "Captain Colon." ISW also did a brief stint on the Warped tour. Anyway my friend was half of a tag team called "69 Degrees" which was a hilarious spoof of boy bands. Part of their schtick was to bring copies of Dianetics to their matches, pass (throw) them out and preach Scientology to the fans. All while dodging corn torillas. Corn flies better than flour. It was a real heal thing and the fans would always boo them. They hadn't ever even cracked the book to read that crap (is "crap" hypercritical?) so everything they said was way off. Anyhoo they had to put a stop to it because they got a cease and desist letter from the Scientologists because of their act. Talk about no sense of humor. of San Fran

#35 - Posted by: xtremerightwing on July 1, 2005 06:58 PM

Oh and by the way...have any of you considered what David Blaine's plan for you might be?

#36 - Posted by: xtremerightwing on July 1, 2005 07:02 PM

Hey, since the whole "Totally Hitler" thing fizzled out (probably wisely so), perhaps we can dust it off and take "Totally Xenu" for a spin?

"Aw, you lost your job but found a new one right away? That's so Xenu!"

#37 - Posted by: The Sik1 on July 1, 2005 09:33 PM

"I think the important thing we can learn here is that this individual finally settled, once and for all, just what the heck "IMAO" stands for." I always thout it meant "In My ASSHOLE Opinion"

#38 - Posted by: on July 2, 2005 12:49 PM

Volumes have been written on that subject.

#39 - Posted by: Army NCO Guy on July 2, 2005 02:13 PM

"Oh no! The Scientologists! The Scientologists are coming to get me! Oh no, save me from the Scientologists!"

"Stop that, Mr. Burns."

"Ooohh, I mustn't make the Scientologists angry! Not The Scientologists!"

"Stop it!"

#40 - Posted by: Beo on July 2, 2005 11:48 PM

I would think "totally Xenu" would be like:

"I just caught my hand in the brush chipper."

"oh, man, that's so xenu! can I take you to the hospital?"

#41 - Posted by: mech on July 3, 2005 05:34 PM

Since "IMHO" stands for "in my humble opinion", and "arrogant" is the opposite of humble, I assume that IMAO stands for "in my arrogant opinion."

#42 - Posted by: hail to the chief on July 3, 2005 11:51 PM

I thought IMAO stood for International Monkey Assassin Organization.

#43 - Posted by: on July 4, 2005 09:47 AM

If ANY of you ever bothered to vote for the IMAO podcast at Podcast Alley you would see quite clearly what IMAO stands for.
