Toby, I was being a bit tongue in cheek when I said the article is "good." EV and the premies got what they wanted in the article, and so little of it is based in reality! But, I think that it's transparent. Just look at the size of the thing compared to other NRM articles. It also didn't help that one of the main Wiki editors is himself in a known cult. The problem was that I found myself getting too angry when trying to work with the editors/writers of the article. I can't invest that much of myself into a small article on the internet. And that stupid NPOV thing is a ridiculous way to write! I also felt at times that I was being watched. For instance, when a couple of the writers, and not just premies, would say "How come you write so much on the forum?" It was quite a bizarre feeling to know I was being monitored and told about it directly! I don't want to put that much of my personal energy into one article that, when compared to EPO, and the testimony of ex-premies is quite insignificant. EV and premies have already spammed the internet quite well. As I said, just type in Prem Rawat and just about any word, and you get lots of hits and not all of them are favorable towards Rawat, either. That's why I'm not so concerned about Wikipedia. There seems to be some delusions of grandeur going on there about Wikipedia itself and it's significance in general. If Wikipedia is the new wave in the information age, then a lot of people will be very misinformed about a lot of things! LOL! The attitude towards me and other exes is "you're an apostate, therefore you lie." That was frustrating. What is left is some pretty poor writing and a lot of disinformation. But make no mistake, the ex-premies were closed out long before this final edit run-through. I also saw the copyright issue coming a long time ago, too. And there were always loud objections to any ex-premie's edits. Lots of premie whining, too. Cynthia
