Why does this site avoid discussion about Scientology?

There was a posting under "Mental Health" that was deleted a short while ago. Why is that? This is an open forum with open opinions....isn't it? I mean, if nothing vulgar or threatening is being posted, isn't it fair game?

Update:

Addendum: I am totally against it and after 6 replies, I agree with all and know tons about the cult, like the fact that they are the only people to call themselves a religion whose books are copywrited. Bunch of B/S, to me at least.

Update 2:

BTW, thumbs up to everyone!!!!

Update 3:

The best answer choice was a tough one, but some times, simplicity just kicks butt!! Thanks to all who posted.

Update 4:

Maybe not....the system wants me to wait more.

    It's not nice to make jokes about people with no sense of humor.

    People seem afraid or skeptical about Scientology. I am pagan and I practice the occult. They don't scare me. They have their beliefs, and are right to do so. But I have the right to have my beliefs and Scientology is not one of them. I NEVER harm innocents. When my family disowned me I did a massive revenge spell and three people died. Two of my uncles, one cousin. They played a major role is killing my father, and that I DO NOT walk away from that. I am lost without my dad and these scum bag Italian Catholics with their iron clad fists screwed me, my dad, and my husband. Radical Catholics are no better than terrorists.

    Scientologists despise the notions of psychology yet use psychology like ploys to solicit people to their views.

    For example: The fake meter they use does not give an accurate readinf of anything. It is a show which is designed to help people believe they are depressed so that they can listen to a placebo cure.

    Things are deleted for various reasons. If someone posts a prayer request, for instance, I report it every time. THis is a Q&A forum. Perhaps there is another reason it was deleted.

    Some scientologist must have been offended and reported it. They always automatically remove something that is reported. Scientologists are known for being very aggressive against people who try to make public statements against them.

    Since the South Park episode, maybe everyone's afraid of being sued.

    Scientology is a religion, so it's probably off topic.
