Subject: Re: Front Sight Legal Bulletin
Hi Naish,
After receiving the "Front Sight Legal Bulletin" I found and read Dean
Gamburd's essay, as well as the commentary on GlockTalk and elsewhere.
Gamburd's accusations have no evidence whatsoever to back them up, so I'm
pleased to ignore them, as the vast majority of Front Sight students seem
to be doing as well. As usual, the most eager and willing to believe the
accusations on the discussion boards are those who have never attended a
course. I think such people have an envy problem, at the very least.
In any case, it pains me for Front Sight to have to be dealing with such
people.
One thing did catch my attention in your note though:
> We took the time to investigate him and continue our investigation. We

I've kept my eye on the dangerous and criminal organization of Scientology
over the past few years. When publicly criticized, one common strategy of
the Church of Scientology has been to brand the critics as "religious
intolerants" and "criminals" "involved in hate groups" on web sites like
www.religiousfreedomwatch.com. (I can provide particular examples if you
wish.) I'm sure that they would brand me as such if I ever investigated
or published on Scientology, although nothing could be further from the
truth.
In case you are unfamiliar with the tactics of Scientology, I wanted to
alert you to the extreme unreliability of any information they might
provide about their critics. I am worried simply because your language
seemed a bit too close to theirs. I hope that it was merely a
coincidence!
Let me know if I can be of any assistance. Best wishes in all of this
brouhaha,
diana.
