you are full of it Share - for Buck to not recognize Hagelin's desire that his 
and the other TMO leaders to be accepted without question no matter what it is 
is indicative that Buck needs some kind of counseling - he is burying his head 
in the sand and ignoring the obvious.

You are insane to call me a cultist - what is my cult? You who simper and gush

he is. But you can't fit that truth into your head, into your worldview, into
