[Imc-web] Scientology post

[Mike Lehman]

There's more to this than at first appears. Since early August, we've 
been getting posts by Scientologists, usually touting their thinly 
disguised "anti-drug" propaganda. Since such postings include links that 
are considered to be ad links, they've been treated as spam and hidden.

In the process, there has been an occasional anti-Scientology post in 
reaction. Given the tendency of the Scientologists to harass their 
critics, probably best to let sleeping dogs lie, IMO. I'd really prefer 
not to encourage a major clash between wackos and those foolish enough 
to be taken in by them.

The antis have not violated our policies, unlike the spam solicitations 
(apparently) from the Scientologists. If someone wants to clarify the 
source of the current anti-Sci in a comment, that's no problem.
