Answer: The Church of Scientology has a history of going after their critics.  Several ex-Scientologists have been sued into silence for daring to expose some of the looney dogma the church espouses (alien souls inhabiting humans, Xenu the evil galactic emperor, etc).  This is simply an extension of that tactic.
