John Dixon a councillor in Cardiff (that's in Wales in case you don't know) made the following tweet when he was in London:
“I didn’t know the Scientologists had a church on Tottenham Court Road. Just hurried past in case the stupid rubs off.”
Naturally CoS decided to complain. Ok, maybe they have the right to, but seriously. Would you really complain about that? Would you?
Now I knew that CoS was thin skinned. Clearly I didn't know how thin it was.
The article I linked to above states the CoS claimed that the comments "impinged on the right to religious freedom". I'd like to see their reasoning for that, especially considering that Scientology isn't a religion in the UK.
Reading the Google update page for #stupidscientology a few people have pointed out that an anagram for Scientology is "Yes, not logic". That probably explains the reasons for this complaint.
