Your inconsistent view points on references for cults and hate groups In talk cult you say that the checklists must go because they are unscientific though they are clearly mentioned as disputed and attributed to the anti cult movement The one by Lifton is referenced I support replacement of the other checklist by the one by Eileen Barker 12 45 3 Oct 2004 UTC In talk hate group you support a checklist presented as proven fact that is unattributed but just made up and you oppose my view that the checklist must be referenced 12 45 3 Oct 2004 UTC I may miss something but it seems that you use double standards to support your views I hope that your can re consider your opinions about references for checklists on these subjects Thanks in advance 12 39 3 Oct 2004 UTC Good point Andries I do not have a problem with these checklists if they are placed in the destructive cults article 19 07 3 Oct 2004 UTC Zappaz thanks for you changing your opinion The problem is I think that it is difficult to distinguish between a harmless NRM a cult and a destructive cult That is why I think the checklists are important and should stay in the cult article or at least directly linked to I mean my former group has some destructive exploiting traits which I only found out after nine years Besides many scholars the media and the public do not make the distinction between a cult and a destructive cult 19 19 3 Oct 2004 UTC That is exactly the reason the media and the public do not make that distinction My hope is that the Wikipedia articles can throw some neutral light into that confusion That is my hope With your help and the help of other editors editing those articles we have a good chance to suceed in doing that And that would be a wonderful thing 01 10 4 Oct 2004 UTC Regarding your complaints about Andries behavior May be it is because of my English but I think I was the co author of the Criticism of Prem Rawat article So were you So was Jossi I admit that Gary D was the main author May be I am confused because of the subtle language differences between Dutch and Engish Same for e g the word study that has a slightly different meaning when compared to the Dutch word studie which was in hindsight the reason for one of my many disputes with Jossi 23 06 10 Nov 2004 UTC I only said on talk past teachings of Prem Rawat that I do not understand you In fact I defended you against Jim s accusations 23 06 10 Nov 2004 UTC I checked what I wrote on forum8 about you the last 60 days and I could only find the following post by me in which I defended you 23 06 10 Nov 2004 UTC I really do not understand why you think that my behavior towards you is inappropriate 23 06 10 Nov 2004 UTC Zappaz I think we have to concentrate on articles to prevent endless and senseless discussions I do not think that we will ever agree about your complaints about my behavior 01 26 11 Nov 2004 UTC I clearly see that you do not want to take responsibility for your actions Fair enough 05 35 11 Nov 2004 UTC Zappaz I do take responsibility for my words I write here under my real name and I even clarified my words outside Wikipedia upon your request here in Wikipedia This is far more than the guidelines in Wikipedia or its spirit demand 18 30 12 Nov 2004 UTC Besides I did not make a cloaked accusation towards you I had no other intention than to defend both Jim and you What can I do to convince you of that In that post I explicitly wrote that I believed you to be sincere It is not my fault that you go far beyond the literal meaning of what I wrote there and suspect that I made a cunning attack on your credibility It took me even a while before I understood to what extent you had misinterpreted what I wrote 18 30 12 Nov 2004 UTC Thanks Zappaz I appreciate the information from Marc Galanter in the DLM article 18 13 18 Nov 2004 UTC Your views on apostasy I generally consider apostates testimony to be reliable For years I thought that the detractors of SSB had been dirty liars who had been bribed to g
