seth material oasis thank you for the supportive comments that you made on the seth material talk page recently if you are truly a new editor there are some things you need to know wikipedia's rules governing editing and the behavior of editors are very poorly written they encourage people who have nothing else to do to spend hours and hours on the site each day however once an editor has exhausted his knowledge any contributions he makes after that are of dubious value the result is that there are contingents of what i call wiki addicts who make little positive contribution to the encyclopedia but who make a lot of trouble for other editors they generally call themselves skeptics and they spend hours each day attacking articles they don't like they fancy themselves to be guardians of neutrality but their edits are rarely neutral they also fancy themselves to be wikipedia experts and consequently they are rarely willing to collaborate generally they are atheists right wing christians and political conservatives and they attack articles on topics that are not in the mainstream especially in the area of religion the seth material article has suffered from such attacks since it was created a couple years ago recently several skeptics ganged up on me and got me kicked off the article the editors who are now in control of it have no knowledge of the seth material whatsoever beyond the fact that they don't like it so the article is now controlled by editors who would prefer to delete the article altogether they have already cut out portions of it if you want to see the most complete version of the article look for the version edited by itsmejudith you'll find text in there that has since been deleted basically my message to you is that wikipedia is a hostile environment especially if you are interested in topics of religion or spirituality if you have things to say in those areas it is best to do it on your own web site with so many editors on wikipedia intent on censoring information they don't like it is very hard to make contributions in those areas without getting into non stop edit wars
