And this actually comes from an experience I had from 1998 to 2000.
I was living in LA.
I sort of had a two-year period of my life where I actually had almost no contact with Scientology.
And during that time, I found my way onto the internet.
And there was a website.
It might have been ESMB, Ex-Scientology Message, but whatever it was, it was, at that time, the main source of critical information about Scientology on the internet.
And I looked at it.
And remember, I was still a true believer.
And I looked at this, and it was so...
offensive, insulting, hyperbolic, exaggerated.
I was like, oh, just a bunch of bullshit.
I was in Scientology for 16 more years.
If what I had seen on the internet about critical of Scientology, if what I had seen when I had seen it was something that actually resonated with me, that I was like, oh,
that I believed was true, that seemed credible, I would have gotten out of Scientology 16 years earlier.
So I was like,
How can I help create an experience on the internet that if a Scientologist stumbles upon it, it will resonate with them instead of repelling them?
And that is exactly what I have set out to do and what I believe I've accomplished.
