The face that defame his character as being part of what they call a cult.
Admitting you are part of an organization is not the same as welcoming the
label of "cultist" that the piece slaps on him. Also, it infers that he's
out to impact Wikipedia articles, and that he could be working directly for
the organization (with all that shady talk about "we don't know his real
connection!").

Saying Wikipedians aren't perfect, and saying they are cultists out to
exploit the project for propaganda purposes are too entirely different
things.
