That was precisely my point. It's a new, subtle strain of the virus. Kicking people out of the domes because Amma mumbled "muh > muh muh muh muh" while giving them hugs is petty and cultish.

Perhaps Erik will now turn his investigative skills to, say, the attitude of local churches to gays and to gay marriage. This is a topic I know nothing about, but I am sure it would be possible to produce a piece bashing some church or other for its reactionary views, digging up a few disgruntled ex- members to say some negative things, etc. etc. It won't happen of course, because in this town, when you want to attack a local organization, it's almost predetermined which one you aim for.
