I wouldn't be surprised if they filed anyway. Scientology does have a reputation for filing frivolous lawsuits. Hubbard did say that lawsuits were great for harassment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology_and_the_legal_syste...


+1 point for using the Wikipedia article on Scientology and the legal system to support your argument. I can imagine the court proceedings now:

"The Church of Scientology has a recorded history of filing frivolous lawsuits, all of which is documented in this Wikipedia article."

"This only proves that Wikipedia is biased against scientology!"

"Your Honor, please review the references to this entry. Clearly no further citations are needed."


Although harassment in the form of lawsuits is much more effective against individuals than it is against a group.


Yes. But they may decide to suit the individuals involved.
