No rather than ask him I have openly speculated about things I do not know on the web. I really should not have done that.

Extremist ex's. Well, to me faxing the Scattini spoof letter to all his business associates was wrong. I don't know who did it but I have always felt John may have. I guess because whoever did it was Australian. Scattini was an issue for the person obviously. Whoever it was went to some trouble, and had some unique insight, that faxing this letter to political and business associates of Scattini would be an effective way to embarrass him. I thought I journalist might come up with a scheme like that. Then, when I voiced my outrage over ex's using these kind of tactics, an anonymous Australian became VERY defensive and discussed how American's are to PC. There was an implication of a new era fighting Rawat. It sure reeked of cultthink to me.

I do think from time to time ex's have gone too far.  I shouldn't have used the words "extremist ex" but I have seen extremist attitudes from time to time in posts.
