    If only the US Government would follow the German lead on this matter....

    A perfect example of why Wiki is not considered a reliable research resource and is not accepted at many colleges here in Vermont. They were right to remove the offending IP addresses.

    I believe in freedom of speech and the everyone's right to spirituality and pursuit of whatever religion they like. But, Scientology is monstrous and wicked. So I'm glad that it's banned from Wikipedia, although I'm sure that many people will claim this act as unethical. Maybe because they do not really know what Scientology is all about.

    A good move, they can finally stop trolling every Wikipedia talk page that mentions Scientology and the galaxy leader Xenu.

    Freedom of speech is important.

    changing history and inciting religious/racial hatre could arguably be much worst but very difficult to 'take side' but might be much more worthwhile.

    Just curious..

    is this first time Wikipedia done this, ever?
    if not, which other site(s) has it 'banned' before? interesting to know.

    People can't even imagine what Scientology is able to do with people's minds and money.

    They just didn't like Wikipedia spilling the beans that they thought they were aliens

    That information is normally reserved for Level Alpha-23 VI Initiates.

    I think the two rival factions mentioned are misspelled. It should read "admirers of Scientology and anyone who is not a retarded moron".
    When are we gonna get rid of religion and focus on important matters?
