Baha'i fundamentalists are highly adept at manipulating
and controlling information / disinformation and public
perception, on and off the Internet.
I caution you that appearances are deceiving on Wikipedia,
talk.religion.bahai and alt.religion.bahai, as elsewhere
in bahai cyberspace, BeliefNet, Talisman9, "unenrolled" Baha'i
Yahoo Group, at times the DMOZ and Google directories, and
so on, playing the game of "good cop, bad cop,"*** all of which
have been prime tactics and arenas of Baha'i propaganda and
used to identify and manage dissent.
"I do think it's convenient for some to focus on the messenger--why?--
it conveniently deflects attention from the message." -Bernard Goldberg, Bias
"The ideas that rebels expound tend not to be attacked by those in power.
The latter are inclined rather to kill the messenger by character assassination.
For example, one rebel was said to be a womanizer... bitter... disloyal... and
even, in the words of one accuser, dangerously mentally ill." -C. Tarvis, social psychologist

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_cop/bad_cop
Good Cop/Bad Cop, known in British military circles as Mutt and Jeff and also called joint
questioning and friend and foe[1], is a psychological tactic, used for interrogation.
It involves a team of two interrogators who take apparently opposing approaches to the subject. The
interrogators may interview the subject alternately or may confront the subject at the same time.
The 'Bad Cop' takes an aggressive, negative stance towards the subject, making blatant accusations,
derogatory comments, threats, and in general creating antipathy between the subject and himself.
This sets the stage for the 'Good Cop' to act sympathetically: appearing supportive, understanding,
in general showing sympathy for the subject. The good cop will also defend the subject from the bad
cop. The subject may feel he can cooperate with the good cop out of trust and/or fear of the bad
cop. He may then seek protection by and trust the good cop and tell him the needed information.
The technique is easily recognised by those familiar with it, but it remains useful[citation needed]
against subjects who are young, frightened, or naïve. Experienced interrogators assess the subject's
level of intelligence and experience with the technique[citation needed] prior to its application,
as the technique is often seen as offensive and insulting to those who recognise it, who may thus
refuse to cooperate outright.
