Censorship and disinformation pervade bahai cyberspace
http://www.fglaysher.com/bahaicensorship/censored.htm
Censorship and disinformation pervade bahai cyberspace and has since the advent of the
Internet. Discussion on BeliefNet's Baha'i Debate and Talisman9 is no exception. Repeatedly,
"liberal" moderators have shown themselves as ready to squelch open and free
discussion as the worst fundamentalists in control of soc.religion.bahai,
AOL's message boards, and other
mouthpieces of the bahai administration, such as Unenrolled Baha'i
on Yahoo! Groups, intended to regulate dissent. Use them with caution and realize that
you are usually NOT hearing voices of dissent because the sweet and pleasant "moderators" have
prevented people from posting their views.
Talk.religion.bahai remains the only place of online discussion that
NEITHER fundamentalist nor liberal prejudice and passion can censor,
though often manipulated in other ways....
