A relatively mild response to nonsense with commentary.
------------------
Steve Hall claims that the FZ has been begging for a massive take down:-
1] This is his opinion and has no basis in fact, this is also a generality. Also is
antagonistic and indicates that Steve is op-terming.
Says the FZ failed because we refused to put ethics in on CO$ and thus betrayed
thousands of people who were getting butchered for nearly 3 decades:-
2] I'm not inclined to point fingers at people who were not able to stop DMs palace Coup. Former ED Int Bill Franks, the whole of the Guardian's Office and the number 2 and 3 in the organisation, Marty Rathbun and Mike Rinder and many of the execs who testified
that they were beaten up by DM in the "Truth Rundown " plus all the Mission holders failed in that task. However they were all better placed than small groups and individual FZers
who at the time didn't have the internet to network with. Also those beaten up could have gone to the police and they didn't. That would be putting in ethics. Apparently its now to late for the FBI to act.
And this is the FZ's fault?

Steve says Church people were being butchered because the FZ made an agreement with CO$ "Leave us alone and we'll leave you alone."
3] There is no data to back this statement up. I know more people in the FZ than probably anyone and I don't know anyone who made such an agreement with CO$.
Never heard of such a thing.
Steve says that the FZ SOLD OUT those left in the CO$ and they suffered horrifically and there lives were destroyed.
4] This is completely topsy turvy. Destructive actions were done by CO$ employees and
other CO$ employees were far better placed to halt such things than a scattered bunch
of outsiders. Note that the checks and balances placed in policy no longer work. Its rule by command intention only now. Its not the FZ who allowed this to happen.
Note that Marty and friends have inspired lots of people to leave CO$. I applaud that.
Steve complains that FZers aren't helping in a program to get "ethics in". They don't post on Marty's blog, his blog and a couple of other places.
5] I was thrown off of Marty's Blog 2 or 3 times for upbraiding him for attacking FZers. In
another post Steve castigates Pat Krenik for inviting other FZers to join his Indie closed facebook forum. This looks like flowing power to him? he wants people to join him, and then attacks them when they help!
Steve says 100% of the FZ are out ethics because we cooperated with CO$.
6] He hasn't actually given one person as an example. He ends of by saying we are all skunks and stink.
See the opterming comment I first made.
