A person who founded a stabilization organization in Europe has recently admitted to associations with a vampire group and a satanist group. Does this kind of thing harm cryonics publicly perceived credibility? Or does it draw useful attention to it?
I think Richie as a critic could be the best thing ever to happen to cryonics. I find his website mentally painful to read.
I think what cemented my resolve on the topic was reading the rickross forum reactions. They were so over-the-top group-thinky and WRONG that I suddenly felt I had to start defending cryonics from these weirdos.
Banning Mark Plus from commenting and explicitly restricting the topic to "ways in which cryonics is a cult" was probably what really flipped my bozo bit on them. That was also probably around the time I read this.
Now that I know the context of their experience with scientology I'm a bit more sympathetic to how they could be honestly wrong. I mean, they are thinking crazy, but something real happened to put them in crazy mode.
