What I don't understands is that although she agrees that supportes of the new group should not and can not accuse the moderators of s.r.i., to be biased against the postings of the supporters, she is herself accusing the moderators of the proposed news group of posting articles of only their own interest and not posting articles which are against them.  Isn't that a bit too much too soon?

And she thinks, or should I rather say, KNOW that the Ahmadis do not perform any of the above?
