Helena Kobrin or David Miscavige or Thomas Hogan never ever complained to Grady's ISP, and Judge Whyte never told Grady to stop it (altough everyone involved, even Grady, agree that it is disgusting). "wgert" has no reason to complain. Besides, his own texts are even more disgusting, as they are not a "parody", some of his texts are libel, pure and simple. That he hasn't been sued is because the victims of this libel do not have the deep pockets of the "Church" of scientology.
