I just stumbled upon this site which appears to have all of the best Alan Walters ESMB posts over on Paul's site. Awesome...
Introduction Alan C. Walter made 3,303 posts to ESMB, the Ex-Scientologist Message Board at
http://forum.exscn.net, between January 2007 and November 2009. This eBook includes all 1241 of these posts in 420 threads that I consider worth preserving in an eBook. Some comments by others have been retained to help provide context. These comments by others are shown in a different colored type. Throughout, the general idea is Black type = Alan.
There are two levels of heading, i.e. clickable bookmarks in the Table of Contents that will take you to that point in the text. Heading 1 is both the thread title and a hyperlink to the original ESMB thread, which may or may not work depending on whether you are online and sometimes you will need to be an ESMB member to see certain threads. Heading 2 is the post number, and its date and (UK) time, in the format YYYYMMDD-HHMM (24 hour time). At some time in the future, possibly with a new version of the board software, the Heading 1 links to ESMB may no longer work directly. But the thread number will be preserved, so simply use that in whatever form a thread URL there has, and it will work.
The threads in this eBook are presented in numerical/chronological order, the order in which the thread was started. The posts are presented in date order within that thread. The thread numbering and post numbering matches what is on ESMB. So, for example, you will see:
Thread 12 Welcome to the guestbook Post #248 20080414-1555 (= 3:55pm April 14, 2008) Post #285 20080504-0142
etc. Some posts have titles, some not. Sometimes the titles are Alan's, sometimes mine.
The post text is pretty much exactly as Alan wrote. I have corrected some typos and grammatical idiosyncrasies, but not all. As long as ESMB is still online, you can always check the original thread if there are any questions.

rundowns, with more planned. Use online or preferably download the latest "AllToDate" zip file to your own computer to avoid internet latency with the audio process commands. Main page is at

Alan's opinion of PaulsRobot (see Post #292 20071111-1510): "I love what you are doing - it is ground breaking - and way outside of the box."
Thread 12: Welcome to the guestbook
Post #248 20080414-1555 The early days Once upon a time in the early days - there was great forgiveness - also there was a co-contribution of knowledge and development of the technology.
Scio......was searching for the answers to life and us.
Then one day LRH proclaimed that he alone was the only person capable of discovering the rest of the material......he began to enforce his rightness on others.....they in turn began to enforce their rightness on others......slowly each person got less and less forgiveness and more and more assertive rightness until it has become no forgiveness and you are wrong.
Not that one really needs others' forgiveness....but you sure don't need others making you wrong and guilty for what you have realized was non-optimum behavior.
Hope this helps!
Alan
