This is a direct copy of Schnoebelen's report hosted on http://www.chick.com/articles/dnd.asp . Schnoebelen, Thomas Radecki, and darned near every person in that so-called report was discredited to heck and back by Mike Stackpole over a decade ago, with Stackpole's "Pulling Report," or by other publications that have come out in the intervening years.
This site claims that the "Former TSR employee in question was named Paul Sanchez. The only references to a "Paul Sanchez" I have seen is some singer in a band called "Cowboy Mouth", so I am GUESSING that ain't him. But NO ONE named "Paul Sanchez" to my knowledge has ever been in the employee credits of any early TSR product.
The part I love is how the spells were supposed to be "realistic." Do witches actually use tin-can telephones to send messages long distances? Do they actually use powdered iron to make things grow? Do they use beans to cause blasts of air? (Well, other than the mundane ways, of course.)
If that's real, then I'm an satanist, and so is anyone who ate a bean burrito.
I'm guessing that, if Schnoebelen's story is even remotely true, what he had were two neighborhood guys come over, say they were from TSR, and they wanted to talk to the "Real Witch" in the neighborhood so they could add something extra to their homebrew - Occam's Razor, and all that.

Aaron, your pic is the most cute I ever saw on enworld!
Anyway, I agree with you: these people are harming others. They keep saying you are immoral, dirty, criminal, and what not, just because you happen to activate some of their neurosis. Then, they will do everything they can to defame you, never thinking twice about it, or caring if they ruin some people's lives. I have absolutely no respect for such kind of people (such kind who also think they have the moral authority to determine what others should do or shouldn't). Note that I don't equate such persons with faithful / fanatci / crusader or what not, only with neurotic (for the mildest of them) up to psychotic.

Aaron: I apologize. I hadn't considered that. I still believe, based on my own experiences, that the majority of people who think that D&D is Satanic are not causing harm. I believe that they are wrong, and foolish to boot for not researching it, but I think that most are not rabid haters-of-D&D.

What angers me is those people who use religion to justify their desires to bend other people to their own limitations. When you say that something is "satanic", it's in fact as if you call on God's name justify your ideas. Such people are only telling you: "you are not authorized to contradict me, because it's a higher authority (God) who speaks through my mouth, not me." What a lame excuse, and what a blasphemy if you think caefully about it. In any case this isn't an opinion, but the expression of their mental illness, and a sign they need psychotherapy (if their exist one that could help them...).
This guy settled the whole issue of D&D and spell casting leading to evil for me.

Here's the follow up article as well. I particularly liked his reply to Voldemort...
