Les,
from an outsiders perspective you're org**ising members of at least two large m**boards to take part in peaceful and dignified d***strations against <a href="http://www.xenu.net/">scientology</a>
I know it seems like a laugh but you *really* need to do more to protect yourself.
Cover your IP, seriously look hard at what info about you is available online, and don't rely solely on ATMs and your bank account for money. Try to keep some cash on you.
Don't rely on your mobile to remember your most important number (just in case).
Make sure all Scottish media know what is going down.
It makes sense that the more numbers that make a peaceful protest, the more interest the media will take. |

We're not on google as of yet... Ahem.
PetPiranha is probably right though. We are a bit public and they probably will try to fuck with us.

It makes sense that the more numbers that make a peaceful protest, the more interest the media will take. | I'm not organising it, it's being organised here.
I just want to go along for the shits and giggles. I'm not deadly serious about the cause, it'll be an amusing day out.
Basically, in light of this new "Internet vs Scientology" phenomenon, someone resurrected an old, old, old thread where we had discussed a plan to go down to the church in Edinburgh and get personality tests done, just for the laughs. With the re-emergence of that thread and this 10th of February thing a few of us thought "what the hell, let's head down".

Did the spirit of fun kill your entire family, or something?

I know it's taking a point to an extreme, but I bet some of the people in Germany thought it was 'just a little fun' to protest against the Jews.....
