No, I don't agree that policy was cancelled. You misunderstood what I
wrote. Technically and factually a "policy" is not a "policy
*letter.*" A "policy letter" can be cancelled, and the "
policy"
that
the "policy letter" instructs or elucidates *not* cancelled. This is
the case with the fair game *policy.* A policy letter, or PL, may have
been cancelled, but the fair game *policy* has never been cancelled.
When the fair game policy is cancelled, there will be a revolution in
Scientology. It will be the end of Scientology as we know it;
certainly the end of the threat to good people that the cult with its
fair game policy continues to be.

That's fine. Web pages are made of course not to be read. But I really

No, the policy *letter* was cancelled. Not the fair game *policy.*
Here's part of what you snipped:

Those other texts ordering horrible things to be done to people are
articulations of the fair game policy, or the fair game doctrine, or
the fair game philosophy.

It isn't one thing or the other. They don't do only what they'd rather
do.
But I think you don't understand the cult's "admin scale." There
is
alignment top to bottom on the scale. Scientology and Scientologists
cannot have a purpose "to forgive," as Christians can have. Nor can
they have a goal of total forgiveness. They can profess a goal like
"total freedom," but that is just a lie to cover their actual goal,
which aligns with fair game. They seek power not to be able to
forgive, but to be in a position to better fair game. They fair game
as a manifestation and demonstration of power. There is alignment from
bottom to top of the admin scale, and fair game is in and key to every
point on the scale.
