I've emailed with him, if it's the same guy. I'm not sure that the characterization of "character" and "it" are really necessary or useful.

His main concern, when I met him, was that people from the main Baha'i faith are trying to suppress information about the splinter group. This is how he interpreted one edit of his articles. I assured him that this was unlikely -- to my knowledge, no one from the Baha'i faith is even aware of our existence, much less monitors us looking for his descriptions of the break.

We will face this problem in a much greater way when the Scientologists find us.

This 66.219.221.xxx character is another to watch for - I seem to be getting into an edit war with it over its "Orthodox Baha'i Faith" issues. I researched this group a few months back when I was working on the original Baha'i faith article, and my evidence suggested that they are a tiny splinter group (a few hundred members) of a religion with 5 million members.

Anyway, I'd be grateful if you could watch out for this character - I know Brian Vibber has already run into its ideological agenda. I'm leaving for India again in a week or two so I won't be able to watch it closely enough.
