talk.religion.bahai on Usenet
http://www.fglaysher.com/bahaicensorship/Usenet.htm
The only unmoderated, i.e., uncensored forum on the Internet for discussion
of all things Baha'i. Note well that one of the tactics of Baha'i
fundamentalists regarding talk.religion.bahai is, and has been, to pollute
the atmosphere with disinformation and discredit liberals with abuse and
slander, so that they can then point to talk.religion.bahai as what happens
without supposedly superior control and restraint on free speech and
conscience, extolling their tightly controlled mouthpiece,
soc.religion.bahai.
Similarly, most of the Baha'i discussions groups on Yahoo that are
moderated are used, or have been used at times, to identify and control
dissenters, including "unenrolled" Baha'i, Bahai-Apologetics, and talisman9.
A concomitant result on all forums, as on BeliefNet, is preventing the
development of serious critical thought, reflection, and discussion.
Further, the abuse liberals are subjected to convinces independently
minded Baha'is to remain silent and keep a low profile, which is precisely
the aim of fundamentalists.
A further tactic has been the use of false identities, many quite outrageous
and flamboyant, playing the games of "good cop, bad cop,"*** which only
extensive reading of talk.religion.bahai can begin to reveal, longer than
the usual cursory non-bahai lurker will linger.

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.
