Somebody from the AARC family went to the Calgary Police Service complaining about internet threats. Here is an example of a staunch AARColyte lying to create the concept that people were threatening AARC:

I just had a bit of a laugh. I posted a comment on the cbc board, and it hasn't shown up yet. I've been reading the posts and about 75% say "burn the place down" Then I got to thinking... well who is hosting this board? ... what angle are they taking?... screening process perhaps?... oh cbc... Anyway, well see if it ever does get posted."
Now like a good AARColyte, Laura is lying through her teeth. Here is the only post mentioning burning AARC to the ground:
"I've read about nine pages of comments here, and it's getting rather repetitive. It is clear who the people are who are using this episode as their only source of information. It is also clear who the people are who do not have any PERSONAL experience with the disease. One of Dr. Vause's favorite lines was (and I was disappointed that we didn't hear it (we did hear the marmalade joke though) was "It's your best thinking that got you here" That goes for the addicted kids, and it goes for the parents. A hug and a nice talk is not going to fix any of their problems. These families needs to change their lives as they were living them, and it needs to be aggressive.
With regards to the episode itself, I thought it was terrible. The majority of the footage was at least 10 years old and their attempts at impartiality was laughable. I did not know one of the girls who was allegedly raped, but I did know who she hung out with, and if that is a testament to her credibility, I would not believe her. If she is telling the truth though, she does have my sympathies. That should not happen to anyone. However, this sort of thing happens everywhere. There are occurrences of people abusing their power in schools, offices, hospitals, churches, even the government *gasp*. I am not saying it is acceptable, I am saying it happens, and is not cause for an institution to be "burned to the ground" as some have suggested.
As for accusing a drug addict of lying... well that's absurd, they'd never do that!

So she follows it up with this gem:

My comment never did get posted, maybe it was that remark about how much of their footage was 10+ years old. I tried again, only something a little different...
Believe what cbc said, or don't. The bottom line is people believe what they see on tv, get all worked up, type "burn the place down" in big capital letters, then next week the will tell you that 'arc' is spelled with only one 'a' and look at you like you're stupid. People will have forgotten, while AARC continues to save lives."
The one thing people speaking about AARC have on their side is AARColytes. To quote the master: "they're liars".
