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.
