They just need to connect a voltmeter to the server and purge it of "tweetans".

I think those are ohmmeters, actually. I forget what they call them, but the one they used on me to show me that I need help was an ohmmeter. I declined the help; I was only there because a smokin' hot blonde woman at Balboa Park invited me. Back in the seventies.

Scientologists call them e-meters: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-meter

Technically, its a galvanometer.

I think that it is likely that many religious organizations learned 'sex sells' much earlier than the marketing industry even.

Yeah it's sort of a, "You see that blonde, yeah she likes you too . . . okay now you're interested come see me in the morning, cause you're sure as shit going to hell cause she's easy!"

I'd recommend adding "from Twitter" to the title, as otherwise it's unclear what sort of suspension this refers to.

EDIT: looks like somebody made the change - thanks!

The OP implies that this is an unsurprising development. Has there been particularly strange activity on the scientology account over the past little while?

[nfnaaron → Estragon]

I read it that the writer was implying that Scientology in general practices strange activity, so strange activity at a particular venue is not surprising.
