"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."

I had complained about intolerance for divergent viewpoints too, but I have the impression that the forum has improved in that respect.

On the other hand, I think only "cult apologists", like J. Gordon Melton who really try to do their best to minimize all criticisms of alternative religion as "anti-cult propaganda" do not sympathize with the anger and pain of "apostates" who devoted their lives to Rawat and the Knowledge and then came to the conclusion that they were wrong and that they had not been told the whole story by Rawat and "the organizations that support his work". (This is not just a prejudice, based on the websites of Rick Ross and Anton Hein. I read some of his books and I think Ross and Hein are right.)
