Once, long ago, the Church of Scientology had a policy, called the “Fair Game” policy. This policy said that “enemies” of the church could be “SP Order. Fair game.

He was exceptionally tame; not servile, like a dog, but he acted as though he sort of understood that we were the ones making things go. He trusted humans, and put up with a great deal of stuff.
