I went there to check it out. My first impression was that the
section which talks about Azal or Baha'u'llah being the Bab's
successor was particularly badly written - because you can tell that
succeeding sentences were written the one by a person who thinks that
Baha'u'llah is the devil, and the next by someone who thinks
Baha'u'llah is God. Whereas, in my view, the encyclopedia entries
ought to read as if they were coherently written by one neutral person
who has fairly assessed and fairly explained the differing viewpoints
about any issue. (That's MY understanding of what the Wikipedia
policy of Neutral Point of VIew aspires to achieve).
ANyway, I thought it might be a useful exercise - and hopefully more
productive of light rather than heated accusations - if I went through
that section picking out the bias paragraph by paragraph - here I'm
hoping to illustrate what I just said to Seon about trying to sort out
Azali bias from Baha'i bias in studying that period of history.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A1b - The Bab article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bah%C3%A1%27%C3%AD/B%C3%A1b%C3%AD_split -
the longer article precisely about the Babi/Baha'i split which this
section refers to.
Surprisingly, I found that I tend to agree with Nima on this one -
there are more Baha'i bias sentences than Azali biased ones in this
section.
here's that section with my comments:
"In most of his prominent writings, The Báb alluded to a Promised One,
most commonly referred to as man yazhiruhu'lláh, "He whom God shall
make manifest", and that he himself was "but a ring upon the hand of
Him Whom God shall make manifest.""
So far, so uncontroversial
"Within 20 years of the Báb's death, over 25 people claimed to be the
Promised One, most significantly Bahá'u'lláh."
This is clearly a point made by the Azalis - if Baha'u'llah was only
one of so many, it's easy to say his claims can't have been true. The
point that is not being referred to here is the fact that most of
those other 20-odd people were claiming this status within a year or
so of the Bab's execution, while the Babis were still traumatised by
his death. Baha'u'llah's claims came much later, in 1863.
"Before the Báb's death, he sent a letter to Mírzá Yahyá, titled Subh-
i-Azal, which is considered to be his will and testament.[27] The
letter is recognized as appointing Subh-i-Azal to be the leader of the
Bábí community after the death of the Báb."
"He is also ordered to obey the Promised One when he appears.[28] At
the time Subh-i-Azal was still a teenager, had never demonstrated
leadership in the Bábí movement, and was still living in the house of
his older brother, Bahá'u'lláh. All of this lends credence to the
Bahá'í claim that the Báb appointed Subh-i-Azal the head of the Bábí
Faith so as to divert attention away from Bahá'u'lláh, while allowing
Bábís to visit Bahá'u'lláh and consult with Him freely, and allowing
Bahá'u'lláh to write Bábís easily and freely. Furthermore, there is a
long history in Shí`ism of hidden leaders, with their deputies
wielding the true power (the four bábs themselves are the first
examples of this, as is `Alí-Muhammad's choice of the title "the
Báb")."
This is clearly a very Baha'i-biased version - and it's certainly a
matter of this person's opinion of Subh-i-Azal's character, seeming to
depend on their reading the Bab's mind rather than any kind of
documentation. It's not likely that a letter from the Bab saying "I
was only joking when I appointed Azal" will turn up now, which is
virtually the only way such a theory could be proved.
"Bahá'u'lláh claimed that in 1853, while a prisoner in Tehran, he was
visited by a "Maid of Heaven", which symbolically marked the beginning
of his mission as a Messenger of God. Ten years later in Baghdad, he
made his first public declaration and eventually was recognized by the
vast majority of Bábís as "He whom God shall make manifest". His
followers began calling themselves Bahá'ís.[29]"
This is the basic Baha'i account, and seems to be an unproblematic
telling of what Baha'u'llah claimed, and why his followers started
calling themselves by this new name: Baha'i.
"Subh-i-Azal continued to live with or close to Bahá'u'lláh throughout
the latter's exiles from Iran to Baghdad and then to Istanbul and
Edirne, even though Bahá'u'lláh's claim to be a messenger God in 1863
theoretically rendered moot Subh-i-Azal's authority as the head of the
Bábí community. In September 1867, in Edirne, the rival claims to
authority came to a head. Subh-i-Azal challenged Bahá'u'lláh to a test
of the divine will in a local mosque in Edirne (Adrianople), such that
"God would strike down the impostor". Bahá'u'lláh agreed and went to
the Sultan Selim mosque at the appointed time, but Mirza Yahya failed
to show up.[30]"
This seems to be from a Baha'i account - but I imagine the facts about
where Subh-i-Azal lived up until 1867 could be verified and are
probably true.
"Subh-i-Azal's followers became known as Azalis or Azali Bábís. For
the Bábís who did not recognize Bahá'u'lláh, Subh-i-Azal remained
their leader until his death in 1912. Whether or not he had a
successor is disputed. Bahá'í sources report that 11 of the 18
"witnesses" appointed by Subh-i-Azal to oversee the Bábí community
became Bahá'ís, as well as his son. The man allegedly appointed by
Subh-i-Azal to succeed him, Hadíy-i-Dawlat-Abádí, later publicly
recanted his faith in the Báb and Subh-i-Azal.[31]"
Subh-i-Azal died in 1912 is probably uncontroversial. Everything else
has been put in by a Baha'i-friendly editor - seemingly sourced, since
I doubt information about who Azal appointed to suceed HIM is easy to
come by.
"Ultimately, Bahá'u'llah emerged more successful and nearly all of the
Báb's followers abandoned Subh-i-Azal and became Bahá'ís. Today
Bahá'ís have several million followers, while estimates of the number
of Azalís are generally around one thousand, isolated in Iran"
This is a summary of the situation at present, where few but
specialists have heard of the Azalis. I wonder why there's no mention
of the community living in Cyprus? (I assume I'm not misremembering a
Cyprus connection).
Conclusion - this section *doesn't* give any information about which
community was the bigger in the years immediately after Baha'u'llah's
claims to leadership.

There isn't because He didn't. Browne is the sole source that claims
Azal appointed Hadi Dawlatabadi as His successor who predeceased Him
by 3-4 years. The source of this information seems to be Sa'id
Kurdistani, who wasn't particularly favorable to the Bayanis in any
case. Elsewhere, in the catalogues article, Browne claims that he had
in his possession a letter stating that one of Azal's children/
grandchildren who was most like Him was to be appointed His successor.
Yet there sill isn't a shred of actual documentation proffered by
Browne from the Azal family on this either. In not nominating a
successor Subh-i-Azal was meticulously following the explicit
instructions of the Will and Testament of the Primal Point nominating
Him, which categorically stated:
http://groups.google.com/group/talk.religion.bahai/browse_thread/thread/abac1eaace6c4fce/81d40cafeb9d57da?lnk=st&q=Will+and+Testament+of+the+Primal+Point#81d40cafeb9d57da
"And if in your days God should manifest one like unto you, He is
accounted by God as the one singular inheritor of the Cause. And if He
does not manifest it, for certain God does not wish that His Self be
known and so the decree of the whole Cause returns to God, your Lord
and the Lord of the worlds. Command the
Witnesses who are among the most God fearing in the Cause of their
Lord, those who shall not transgress against the limits placed by
God."

It's called not deciding in advance what conclusions you're going to

Don't you claim that everything that Browne says is irrefutable, when
he agrees with you?
Strange that you'd change your tune when he says something that's
*inconvenient* to you, eh?
Wasn't it Vance Salisbury, whose essay on bias in studies of Baha'i
history I've just recently become aware of, who said that it was
terrible behaviour on the part of these Baha'is to only selectively
quote from EGBrowne what suited their arguments, while ignoring
whatever he says that doesn't suit them?

Don't misdirect into bahaim irrelevencies. We're talking about the
source for Browne's claim regarding Azal's successor. If you have
evidence beyond Browne that Azal appointed a successor, bring it
forth. And I have never imputed scholarly infallibility upon EG
Browne.

Nope, He is referring to the successor of Subh-i-Azal after His death
should one appear like Him, i.e. the next Mirror of the Bayan after
Mirza Yahya Nuri (amsf), who didn't. Since no successor appeared, the
Cause reverted to the People of the Bayan with the Bayan Itself as the
final authority in the absence of a Speaker.

Only when he says things the Baha'is don't like. you call foul if
Baha'i try to cast doubt on the bits of Browne's evidence that they
don't like.
Why is that only a foul when it's Baha'is who are doing it, not you?

Sooo - the point I'm making is passing you by completely?
You have just quoted a well-written scholarly article at length which
criticises the Baha'is for massaging the historical record to fit the
version of history they like best, without being honest about how they
are recasting that record.
Yet you can't see how Dr Salisbury's criticisms apply equally to you
when you behave the same way?
You REALLY can't see that?
Have you actually read and understood Dr Salisbury's article? Or was
it just another piece of material for your anti-Baha'i regurgiposts as
I suspected?

The Baha'is believe that this comment is meant to refer to
Baha'u'llah, don't they?
I didn't expect that YOU would agree with that attribution. Mostly,
I'm teasing you.
But once again - it's perfectly possible, without doing the least
amount of violence to the meanings of words in the quote from the Bab
you just gave to interpret that paragraph as meaning:
"Hey, Azal - if someone claims to be a Manifestation of God while
you're around - you have to recognise him and do what he tells you".
You dismiss that interpretation - but really, you have to come up with
a better argument than "I say it doesn't mean that, so it doesn't" if
you're going to convince anyone to put the interpretation YOU prefer
on that passage from the Bab.
Paul
> Only when he says things the Baha'is don't like. you call foul if

Because that part of what Browne says is 100% unassailable and history
has proven it such again and again. And this isn't a like or don't
like proposition. Subh-i-Azal had no successor. Browne claimed, in
contradictory fashion on two separate occasions based on Kurdistani's
information, that he did: once stating succession to SA by Hadi
Dowlatabadi, the next succession to SA being from among his family.
None of these are accurate. Now did you have anything else to add here
besides palu-ian bahaim misdirections?
> Why is that only a foul when it's Baha'is who are doing it, not you?
Because the Bahaim track record for falsifying, misdirecting,
obfuscating and whitewashing history is legion and incontestable and
meticulously documented and attested by every objective outsider as
well.

The Bahaim are full of shit, as with everything they believe now and
everything they have believed in the past, because the comment is
directed SPECIFICALLY at Subh-i-Azal in the Will and Testament of the
Point to Azal - not to 238 and brother of the fruit. Once again, the
Will says,
"And if in your days [O Azal] God should manifest one like unto you
[i.e. another mirror],
He is accounted by God as the one singular inheritor of the Cause
[i.e. the Cause being the Bayan].
And if He does not manifest it, for certain God does not wish that His
Self be
known and so the decree of the whole Cause returns to God, your Lord
and the Lord of the worlds. Command the Witnesses who are among the
most
God fearing in the Cause of their Lord, those who shall not transgress
against the
limits placed by God."
Would you like me to break down the Arabic for a stupid dunce like you
too?
>Hey, Azal - if someone claims to be a Manifestation of God while
>you're around - you have to recognise him and do what he tells you".
That is NOT remotely what the Will and Testament of the Point suggests
in that passage, not even by implication.

So, Browne is 100% unassailable when you say he is, and Browne is 100%
wrong when he says something you don't like.

You have a bigger track record for falsifying, misdirecting,
obfuscating and whitewashing history than any Baha'i could ever manage
in several lifetimes - as I know from PERSONAL EXPERIENCE - and as we
all know from the various "memory lane" threads you've started
recently.
Ergo YOU don't have the right to make these hypocritical moves that
you call foul when a Baha'i does it.

I believe the question I ACTUALLY asked you was how can you possibly
be missing the point that the precise criticisms Salisbury makes of
the Baha'is in that article apply to your selective application of the
evidence from EGBrowne only to prove the version of history that you
want to believe.
If Hatcher and Martin rehearsed what they say 1000 times again and
again, and put it up on an official Baha'i website, would that allow
them to evade the criticisms of Salisbury?

Baha'u'llah is "another mirror" (he's man yuzhir'u'llah - that's
BIGGER than the Bab)
Baha'u'llah is the inheritor of the Bayan.

sorry - you've said the same thing again, clarifying the points that a
perfect mirror means a Manifestation of God, and The Cause means the
whole faith, the book of the Bayan, all the Bab's followers, etc.
The Baha'is absolutely do believe that Baha'u'llah is such a perfect
mirror - so apart from the fact that you don't like them applying such
terms to Baha'u'llah, what is wrong with the Baha'is interpreting that
passage that way?

If by Baha' Allah you mean Mirza Husayn 'Ali Nari, than he wasn't a
wart upon the backside of a gnat, let alone Mirror. After the First
Unity of the Bayan, Baha'u'llah was one of the many proper titles of
Subh-i-Azal Himself in any case. Mirza Husayn 'Ali Nari was a usurper
and a false claimant, and before 1867 an absolute nobody. Now how such
sectarian theological questions are so important to someone claiming
to be a non-bahaim like you, is anyone's guess, since they are the
tried and true positions of hardline bahaim fundamentalism all the
way!
Indeed, I Am.

Many Germans also believed Adolf Hitler was their savior. Ideologies
built on the foundations of lies, sleights of hands, misdirections,
wooly silences and outright historical falsifications whilst
reinforced by a lifetime of instilled, programmed fear on its sheep -

Look at you, for example.

Because that passage categorically, plainly and unequivocally does NOT
state what a cynical, callous sectarian keyboard for hire cultist twat
such as you and your IT committee thug-goon friends as prompted by
your masters in Zionistan wants to make it say. That is why (not that
TRUTH or FACTS have remotely ever mattered to you FASCISTS here at
anytime)!
W
You systematically lie. Nothing you write has any credence on your say so.
Paul is _not_ a Baha'i as you say, and he _knows_it_. You, on the other
hand, are quick to manufacture your own history, even your family of origin,
occasionally to include Jews and variously no Jews.
- All Bad
One of the very good reasons why Nima insists you Paul the Bull, are a
Bahai is the sheer fact that you feel quite comfortable sipping down
your throat every single bit of Bahai bull shit.
I have demonstrated this suffciently and comprehensively before but
you do also share this gene with Bahais that no matter how conclusive
the evidence, it just does not penetrate what is cemented in your
skull.
The passgae goes like this "If god cause one like thee unto thee to
appear in thy days, then he it is to whom shall be bequeathed the
command [i.e. the Bayani cause] on the part of god, the Single, the
One. But if [such an One] appears not, know for surety, that god hath
not willed to make himself known, and render up the authority to god,
your lord, and the lord of the worlds, all, and ordain the witnesses,
who fear god, and do not exceed the bounds set up by god.”
1) He Whom God Shall Make Manifest is NOT like Subh-i Azal. Subh-i
Azal was the Primal Mirror of the Point. The command of Bayan was to
be handed over to someone else who ranked like Subh-i Azal. For
example Ali the successor of Muhammad (according to Shia) passed the
command to his son.
No one appeared like Subh-i Azal. Subh-i Azal never nominated anyone
as such and Hadi Dowlat Abadi never made any claim as such either.
This is despite the mad Shoghi making up fables.
2) He Whom God Shall Make Manifest does not take the command from Subh-
i Azal: HWGSMM is much more exalted to have the command to be handed
over to him by Subh-i Azal.
The funny thing is that Bahais do not acknowledge the letter to be a
statement of handing over the authority of Bayan to Subh-i Azal, yet
they manage to fish ugly creatures out of this crystal clear water.
One thing Bahais need to think about every time they are not under the
influence of Bahai drugs is the fact that Subh-i Azal is said in this
letter to be capable of revealing verses of God in the same way as the
Point did.
Now, Husayn-Alists can take the stupid story of Subhi- Azal shielding
Husayn-Ali to grave but it is the most nonsensical story since Husayn-
Ali was always keen to be at the front and keep Subh-i Azal in
seclusion.
There is no reference to 238 (Husayn-Ali) in this tablet.

Why is you saying that Browne is 100% unassailable only when he agree
with you "indisputible", while when Browne says what you find
unpalatable he's 100% wrong ANY different from Hatcher and Martin
quoting Browne only to portray the image of the Baha'i Faith that THEY
find palatable.
Honestly, if I had to choose between trusting what Hatcher and Martin
say and trusting what you say, I'd pick Hatcher and Martin every time.
"Because I say so" does not count as a coherent argument.
Ad-hom comments about me, calling me a jewish animal and mentioning a
popular old-fashioned fantasy/horror show doesn't substitute for
argument either, in my book.

I didn't say you were a Jewish animal. I said that you have told
many, many lies about me, involved yourself in many personal campaigns
against me.
From personal experience I know that you are a liar.
Why do you think that you saying "I always tell the truth" will sound
convincing to me when I know you to be a liar.

It isn't possible to tell someone that their personal experiences are
worthless. My personal experience, quite naturally, will trump any
nonsense that anybody tries to pass off on me in a newsgroup.
Especially when it comes from a source that has repeatedly proven as
untrustworthy as your word.
I didn't start this thread in order to trade insults with you - in
fact, I started this thread as a demonstration of something that I
said to Seon Ferguson on another thread.
But in this particular instance, I was asking for rational
justification for you behaving in exactly the same manner as the
behaviour that Vance Salibury criticised in Baha'i authors. If you
expect Baha'is to live up to the standards Vance Salisbury proposes
you too have a duty to live up to those standards.
If you ARE convinced that talking to me is worthless, then why waste
your time doing it?

I have asked you to justify why you expect the Baha'is to live up to
standards of acknowledging the inconvenient parts in testimony from
EGBrowne, while thinking that those standards should not apply to the
Azalis when they want to ignore the inconvenient parts of EGBrowne.
Instead of attempting to answer, you have gotten angry and taken it to
a personal insult level.
I assume this shows that you have no coherent answer to give, and my
suspicion that you think Vance's objections should apply to one side
only in the debate are correct.

So, you've simply confirmed the original argument that I made. I was
already interpreting those terms in the way you said I should. Simply
applying them to a person who you object to most strongly. Just as
the Baha'is would object most strongly to applying such terms to
anyone OTHER than Baha'u'llah.

Yes, I know that YOU think that.
In fact, I specifically said this:
"The Baha'is absolutely do believe that Baha'u'llah is such a perfect
mirror - so apart from the fact that you don't like them applying such
terms to Baha'u'llah, what is wrong with the Baha'is interpreting that
passage that way? "
So, what argument are you giving me here except "The Azalis don't like
it when the Baha'is express their belief that Baha'u'llah was a
Manifestation of God, Perfect Mirror, Heir to the Bayan" etc. etc.
Apart from your personal opinion that Baha'u'llah was evil, there's
nothing wrong with the Baha'is believing that if they want, and
interpreting this passage that way if they want.
If there was, you'd have given it, right?
Paul
Fuck off, Steve.
What happened? Your reason prevailed, as usual? You never fail to come
up with an ace card of yours.
There is one word in that passage that tells you to get lost and it is
this "meslaka" meaning "Someone like you". Now, take that to your
friends and ask for help.
Now, you could admit you just parroted the Husayn-Alists and repeated
the same garbage without looking into it, but you that is not you.
Thre is your answer again: "meslaka".
Another easy to see proof in that passage is that it says the command
of Bayan reaches the Witnesses of Bayan in case no one like him
appeared.
This clearly indicates that the torch that is to be carried is the
command of Bayan which is a completely different thing to the command
of HWGSMM.
There is absolutely nothing in Bayanic works that indicates the next
manifestation could occur in less than 1511 years after the year 1850.
Your wires are twisted.
HWGSMM is one thing the Mirror of the Point is another. You are also
contradicting yourself.
How can what is in the Mirror be bigger (or different) to what is in
front of the mirror?
Husayn-Ali was neither Bahaullah nor HWGSMM.
>
> Baha'u'llah is the inheritor of the Bayan.
HWGSMM and not Husayn-Ali is the Point of the next manifestation which
is the same as the Primal Point in the sense that the light of God
appears in a human body who will be the Creator of a the next book.
Everything in Bayan is of Him and for Him.
Now, the Bayan is not surrendered to HWGSMM by Subh-i Azal. That would
be a huge degredation of the station of HWGSMM.

Subh-i Azal was the Mirror of the Point. HWGSMM is Not.
The cause of Bayan is not rendered to HWGSMM to be carried on. The
Cause of Bayan terminates before HWGSMM is ordained with the Cause of
His Book.
The subject of this passage is the continuity of the Cause of Bayan.
The witnesses of Bayan carry the torch of Bayan. Subh-i Azal carried
the torch of Bayan and someone like Subh-i Azal would have also
carried the Torch of Bayan.

Stephanie, just about nobody around here gives a flying fart about your
banyani shenanigans. If you want to flog the banyani spin then find some
banyani list on which to do so.
Piss off! There's a good girl, now!
Same goes for yoy dead weed!
I must have hurt you real bad. You scumbag don't own trb. I responded
to a sibling of yours with hard proof evidence. Now, take that to your
Gods in Acre and beg for an answer.
In the mean time go an worship the god of Salmani the killer and Abbas
the Khanas.
Just one more thing for you dead weed:
If you think Bayan or Bayani is not something you "could give a flying
fart about" then I have news for you. Your Husayn-Ali did more than
that. He claimed he was the champion of the Bayan. If what you are
saying were to be true, your Husayn-Ali would be the actual supreme
flying fart himself.
Now, think it over, Dead Weed.

No need Stephanie ... let me expand on my statement.
I've had my fill of sectarianism. I don't give a flying fart about any of
the many sects in the world ... that includes Bayan and Bahai. And have the
good grace to accept that and not revert to your master's allegations of
conspiracy. I stated earlier that I was post-Bahai and post religion. That
is the situation - I do not defend any of them.

I came on board to tell Pauline that next time he quotes a Bahai

You're an asshole. Grasp it, understand it, learn to live with it and then
go argue with people who are interested in matters banyani. I'm not

Face facts - the war twixt Banyanis and Bahais was fought and lost years ago
... and your lot lost. You're fighting a lost cause - you have not got the
battalions to win and you haven't the charm or charisma to win recruits to
your cause. You have a real talent for getting up people's noses - you
probably learned it from Nimikins ... or is it endemic to Banyanis. Don't
answer that ... just go away and save yourself the hassle of being mauled
around here. Nobody is interested in your message ... largely because of
the way you present it.
> Or is it that you have an apetite for vulgar and can't get enough of

Sweetie, you can't teach me vulgar and you haven't got what it takes to rile
a t'ick Mick! Your Boss has been trying to do it for years and all he has
achieved is to turn himself into a laughing stock! If you really want to
win support, you need to seduce folks ... you need to show them that , being
a Banyani, you're a lot nicer than the nasty Bahais because you have
assimilated the divine fragrances ... and they haven't! The fragrances
wafting from you and Nimikins more closely resemble those that rise from a
midden - you are, in short, a nasty pair of pathetic gobshites.
You are the one who is "fuck off" once again.
In reference to the Tablet of Succession in which it says: ""If god
cause one like thee unto thee to appear in thy days, ...”
"
You said: "The Bab was referring to Baha'u'llah there, wasn't he? "
You got ahead of youself and parroted the Bahai claim who also appear
to be blind to the keyord "Some one Like Yourself" and not HWGSMM.
The funny thing is that even Husayn-Ali and his sons who pull off a
rabit out of an oil barrel and have been all over this tablet did not
manage this trick. Well done.
So, there you go. You are "fuck off" once again.
You made your u turn when you realised you made a flying fart of
Husayn-Ali.
You dragged your ugly presence into something had nothing to do with
you and My response was directly related to what was said.

You dumb arse must have been told when you first became a Bahai that
Husayn-Ali's bogus claim was entirely based on Bayan. But they didn't
tell you that. Neither they said that to the other 7 millions.
So, it comes to you ignorants as a shock and makes you look like
zombies.

Look arsehole. Husayn-Ali and his ignorant followers will have always

As far as you and I are concerned, you dragged yourself into a

didn't like my tone with Hammond. Let's say I have learned the
language he understands long time ago.

Nop. See Hammond.

No, it is called individual customisation.

Too late. I already did.

You are wrong. My refutation of the Bahai bogus claims are on the
record.
My presentation is customised to the individuals.
> Sweetie, you can't teach me vulgar ...
I know that. But you don't seem to even cope with my limited
vocabulary.
You still have not answered my question?
What was your argument with me when you first started to drag yourself
into this discussion? It is obvious that you know nothing of Bahaism
either which explains why you were once.
What do you care if I responded to Hammond? Were you concerned about
the integrity of TRB to be a forum for Bahais?
Sure I can see that. He didn't like what boomeranged on him.

BAHAIM Tactics & Techniques
1. As far as possible they hold back from responding
2. Then they claim no knowledge [of the given issue] by feigning
ignorance
3. After the exposer has exposed they will try to divert to secondary
and totally peripheral and irrelevent side-issues
4. The exposer is then painted as someone with an axe to grind,
biased, deluded (while they, the bahaim, still have not responded to
the main issue exposed)
5. Next they relate mental instability and insanity to the exposer
[i.e. shoot the messenger]
6. Then, the last tactic, is to wheel out several dubious personas on
the scene who claim to be neutral non-bahai observers who then begin
attacking the exposer as well as the issue exposed and supporting the
bahais and their issues as so-called non-bahais

Wipe your lying arse with your own words again Koli. You do not deny
what all recognised at the time...you simply claim that because I
chased her
for her false categorisation this somehow "changes" it. Your
irrational argument is bizarre...She attempts to steal from me, I cry
"stop thief! explain yourself!" you cry "Just like the thieves at
Beliefnet, not nice"....then when I pursue her you claim the pursuit
negates the crime.
For the record....Dusty did not hound me, I hounded him. For exactly
the
same reason I persuade Susan...neither would stand and explain their
vitriol and accusations, none in the Baha'i apologist gallery would
object to their abhorrent behaviour....and....in the end... having had
all attempts to discuss/resolve the issue thrown back in my face....it
was the hounding, and the hounding alone, that created an environment
in which they dared not
do it again. Despite the open and tacit support received by the limp

An opinion based on tribal bias, certainly not on the post record.
I did not level any accusation of anti faith alignment at Susan. I did
not begin a personalised flame war with Susan. I did not precede these
events with post after post of blatant misrepresentation. I did not
refuse to discuss, explain, substantiate any stated position nor
resort to glib, trite and evasive avoidance of the issue nor follow
with killfile. I consistently sought ('Why you should Susan') to
ascertain the origin and rationale behind her allegation, flame and
personalised attack and received naught but further allegation/abuse.
I did not respond in kind until I had exhausted all avenues of
resolution through dialogue and flagged my intent to embrace 'Susans
rules' well before ever stooping to do so.
You have subsequently evaded, ignored and distorted the reality of
what
transpired up to the point of accusing me of "starting fights" (while
I am
in the midst of attempting to defend against another
basless/unprovoked
EofF allegation which you steadfastly choose to ignore).
"libelings of " Susan? When someone attempts to steal from me I shout
"stop thief" and pursue them when they flee. You stand in the gutter
moaning- "Thief is a libellous charge" and "You pursue the alleged too
vigorously".
"Do we do this with others"?PK

An 'opinion that can be neither confirmed by review of post history

We all "believe you did say it" Pat because its right there in the

check. Since then you have made every effort to pretend that
recognised
reality has somehow "changed" because I pursued Susan over what we all
saw.

She never used the term 'anti faith'...she did not have to...her
meaning was
clear...seen and commented upon by several including YOU...never
subsequently refuted by Susan and in fact supported by further
innuendo.

The only "examples" you have provided are confirmations of what I

That's a bold lie. All you have attempted to do is assert that if

'terms' then the meaning and intent that all (including you)
recognised
at the time is now in doubt because of lengthy pursuit of the issue.

What you said then was that what Susan did was wrong and that I was

because I pursued Susan too long for what she did wrong.

Well ... let's put it like this ... you get a higher more coherent standard
of drivel from Bahais than you get from Banyanis.. They also tend to be a
lot less arrogant and have a better sense of huimour. The only joke to have
come from the Banyanis is Nimikins ... and you.
I'm sure I've been through this with you before.
Here's a little exercise for you.
Distinguish between the two statements below:
a) All Baha'is are Liars
b) All Liars are Baha'is.
The second one is the one you are asserting in your response here.
I'll let you in on a secret - *that* version does not imply that
anyone who is Baha'i is automatically a liar - the set of all liars
could be a proper subset of the set of Baha'is.

It's funny that - I was thinking precisely the same thing about you
when you dragged yourself into this discussion you have nothing to do
with on the instructions of Nima.
Last year, I tried talking properly to you. I realised that long

So this year I restricted myself to words of one syllable in dealing
with you.

> Lying is your practice. BAHAIM Tactics & Techniques
Sorry, I am not a Bahaim like you are, so there's your fallacy exposed
(and documented by Rod Wicks below).
1. As far as possible they hold back from responding
2. Then they claim no knowledge [of the given issue] by feigning
ignorance
3. After the exposer has exposed they will try to divert to secondary
and totally peripheral and irrelevent side-issues
4. The exposer is then painted as someone with an axe to grind,
biased, deluded (while they, the bahaim, still have not responded to
the main issue exposed)
5. Next they relate mental instability and insanity to the exposer
[i.e. shoot the messenger]
6. Then, the last tactic, is to wheel out several dubious personas on
the scene who claim to be neutral non-bahai observers who then begin
attacking the exposer as well as the issue exposed and supporting the
bahais and their issues as so-called non-bahais

What intelligence did you use to judge that my comments were "out of
ignorance". You have no clue of the theology or history of Bahaism or
the cause it stands on being Bayan.

I think I have clarifies this many times before. I take your words not
being a registered Bahai (anymore). What I have said is that given you
repeat the same claims that Bahais make and you like them have no
proof for them and you like them have no interest in changing your
positions even when you no longer can defend them make you to be for
all its purpose as good as a Bahai to me. You may not consider
yourselves Bahais and I know that but for me you are the same thing.

I joined in not because of Nima, nor because of you. I stepped in
because you said something that I believe had no truth and related to
the cause of Bayan and that is how it concerns me.
Dead Weed still has not said why he dragged himself in. All I could
gather from him was that I was not very nice to you. You don't think
so, do you?

And pitch to the devil, cramp, colic and spleen
You'll know it I think if you take a big drink
With your mouth to the brink of a jug of poteen
So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
Oh what moderation gives hope to a nation
Or brings consolation like poteen me boys.
No liquid cosmetic to lovers athletic
Or ladies pathetic can give such a bloom
As the sweet by the powers in the garden of flowers
E'er gave their own bowers such a darling perfume
And this liquid so rare if you willingly share
To be taking your hair when it's frizzled and dead
Oh the sod has the merit to yield the true spirit
So strong it will shake all the hairs from your head
Then stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
Oh since its perfection, no doctor's direction
Can cleanse the complexion like poteen me boys
As a child in me cradle, me nurse with her ladle
Was filling her throat with a notion of Pep
When a drop from her bottle fell into my throttle
I stumbled and capered clean out of her lap
On the floor I lay crawlin' and screaming and bawling
'Til me mother and father were called to the fore
All sobbing and sighing they feared I was dying
But soon found I only was crying for more.
So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
Oh lord how they'd chuckle if babes in their truckle
Only could suckle on poteen me boys
Through my youthful digression, through times of depression
My childhood's impression still clung to my mind
And at school or at college the basis of knowledge
I never could gulp 'til with whiskey combined
And as older I'm growing time's ever bestowin'
On Erin's potation, a flavour so fine
And how ere they may lecture 'bout Jove and his nectar
Itself is the only true liquid divine
So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
Oh lord, 'tis the right thing for courting and fighting
There's nowt so exciting as poteen me boys.
Come guess me this riddle, what beats pipes and fiddle
What's hotter than mustard and milder than cream
What best wets your whistle, what's clearer than crystal
What's sweeter than honey and stronger than steam
What'll make the lame walk, what will make the dumb talk,
What's the elixir of life and philospher's stone
And what helped Mr. Brunel to dig the Thames Tunnel
Wasn't it whiskey, me boys, from old Inishowen
So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
Oh lord, it's no wonder, if lightning and thunder
Weren't made from the plunder of whiskey me boys.
Sure I got your message. You had a short fall on reason and response
to what I said in response to your Bahai claim. And that is well
noted.

I think I have clarifies this many times before. I take your words not
being a registered Bahai (anymore). What I have said is that given you
repeat the same claims that Bahais make and you like them have no
proof for them and you like them have no interest in changing your
positions even when you no longer can defend them make you to be for
all its purpose as good as a Bahai to me. You may not consider
yourselves Bahais and I know that but for me you are the same thing.

I joined in not because of Nima, nor because of you. I stepped in
because you said something that I believe had no truth and related to
the cause of Bayan and that is how it concerns me.
Dead Weed still has not said why he dragged himself in. All I could
gather from him was that I was not very nice to you. You don't think
so, do you?

I know that ver well. In particlar Bahais. Husayn-Ali was not
interested either. But, we will tell you and Bahais for the rest of
the Bahai 500,000 years.

I don't have to tell you that you know what you have been up against
so far. Save your respect, you are void of it! The only ones who get
Look! I admit you are have excelled from being a Husayn-Alist. But you
don't seem to have recovered from its syptoms. You will continue to
show side effects such as longing for giving and taking vulgar and
even enjoy taking it. You still sypathize with those who smoked from
Husayn-Ali's drugs because you like to think you were not a complete
idiot and if you were there were at least 7 Millions like you.
I tried to help your condition but I seem to have aggrevated your
symptoms. So I do what I did to you Dead Weed a year ago again. I am
going to leave you to yourrself to gratify in self satisfaction and
enjoy your whatever nature of companionship you have with Pauline.
You must have realised so far that I could fill up the trb with
telling you how much of fuck arse dumb you are. But that makes you
want more and I have got better things to do that feed you with just
that.
I continue to shatter the corrupt foundations of this bogus invalid
sect from its roots as I have done before.
And you or Pauline can simply watch me and remain a zombie.
You may decide to ridicule yourself or ask me to return your vulgar. I
may or may not be tempted to do so, but the Point remains.
The Bayan and its testimonies are suffcient to make the 7 million
zombies who are even clueless to the foundation of their so called
"faith" worth nothing.

Bye now!
Oh, cheers Dermod! (or was he talking about you then - I might have
misunderstood, the way he tortures the language)
This is on the wrong thread now - I started this to take a near-random
piece of text and show Seon Ferguson what I was talking about when I
advised him that, if he was *interested* in finding out about the
history of Baha'u'llah's succession, and the way it was disputed by
Azali Babis - that he'd have to distinguish between mutually hostile
sources and make his own mind up about how far to believe such things
as bayanic.com.
In that extract from the article on the Bab, it was particularly easy
to see the bias of the various writers of each paragraph.
I also offered my opinion that this isn't what's meant to happen on
Wikipedia - my interpretation of their NPOV policy (Neutral Point of
View) is that the final form of an article should tend towards what
might be written by a *single* interested and well-informed author who
has done his level best to be fair to all sides of differing opinion
on that subject. Obviously difficult to do, especially on articles
that are widely controversial (American political ones, since most
contributers live in the states and have axes to grind - articles
about Darwin, Homosexuals, history of Isreal etc. etc.)
Actually, I think those *widely* controversial topics probably have a
better chance of coming out looking good - hundreds of people want to
edit them, the whole machinery of Wikipedia comes into play, and
there's a better chance that one or two editors who actually *are*
well-informed neutrals with the writing ability to do justice to many
shades of opinion (or at least, have the ability to write as if they
are neutral) will turn up and work on it.
The trouble with the Bab, Babi and minority Baha'i denomination pages
on Wikipedia is that, for the most part they are the preserve of three
or four heavily biased experts with huge enormorous axes to grind, and
the articles aren't noteworthy enough to either talented people with
the motivation to fix them, or experienced admins with the ability to
referee the conflicts productively.
Paul
You ungrateful piece of shit.

Has it penetrated into your skull that you don't interest me at all
because of the obvious fact that you are blank. My question still
stands. What is your fucking problem?
Why are you arguing with me! You are not interested in what I had to
say to Hammond? Fine! Get lost. And don't talk about 'everybody'
because you don't represent everybody.
I do claim that my knowledge is superior to yours and Hammond in
respect to the History and teachings of Bayan and Husayn-Alism. I am
not being arrogant here, I wish the situation was different and I
could have a more meaningful argument with you other than doing my
best to hurt you because you ask for it.

Do you?
Tell me?
What is goin on here between you and I is that you didn't like me
telling Hammond he was full of bullshit. From then on you and I have
been engaing in what you think you have the upper hand that is the
vocabulary of vulgarism.

Look dumb! I don't think the day will come when I try to impress you.
I made my point about Hammond's rubbish and I had nothing from Hammond
to refute what I said. That is settled and finished. You were not the
one I addressed.
So when you say "I don't think so" I have to remind you that you are
not capable of such function. secondly. I have shown all sighn that my
interests are simply in exposing the huge holes in Bahai bogus
claims.
It is rather funny that a non Bahai should defend Bahais with nothig.

Ra Ra Ra. What else you are capable of?
I must admit you have been the perfect candidate to have become a
Bahai.
What did I get for reading your garbage for the past year or so? Are
you capable of producing more than that? I don't think so. That is
called saving my precious time.
You mean "Bab's succession".
Bayanic.com is from what I know the only place where you find a Bayani
account of what Bahais have been putting out in hundreds of their
publications.
I also have not seen anything that responds to the Bayani version of
the account.

This article is written by Bahais. It is obvious. From the top to the
end. It is worthless. Majority of the references are Bahai sources.

That is not how it works ate least on the Bayani related pages written
by Bahais.

I have often tried to put a simple change in the Bayani pages to say
that Bayanis prefer to be referred to as Bayani as opposed to Azali
because Subh-i Azal did not establish any religion. The religion that
the Bab (Primal Point) established was not called Babi religion. It
was called according to Him and also Husayn-Ali the religion of Bayan.
I referred to Bayan and even writings of Husayn-Ali where he addresses
those who rejected his claim as "People of Bayan".
This simple remark that reflects the Bayani point of view and is based
on the Bayani and Bahai sources was removed by the Bahai members.
Everytime.

No I don't. If I had meant that I would have written that.
Baha'u'llah succeeded to the Bab, and his succession was disputed by
the Azali Babis. If I'd really meant the "Bab's succession" I'd have
written THAT.
Azalis did not dispute the Bab's succession to the power of any Shayki
leaders that I am aware of - such a thought doesn't even make sense.
Perhaps there were some other Shaykhi schools of thought that didn't
like the Bab's appropriation of their teachings, I don't know about
that, but any such opposition to the Bab's succession certainly didn't
come from the followers of Subh-i-Azal.

Since Nima and yourself are largely responsible for the dribble that

recommend it as "unbiased"? You have shown here that you are blind to

No it isn't. THere are Bayani authors involved too. I have pointed
out where in the original post on this thread. It's a wikipedia
article that *anyone* can contribute to. My opinion on how
unsatisfactory it is stands - both in the original post on this thread

Do you mean "from the top to the end" or "the majority of sources".
Of course, the majority of the editors were displaying Baha'i bias -
but you said "from the top to the end". You have contradicted
yourself now - majority is not 100%, from top to bottom IS 100%.

That's a rather sweeping conclusion, and NOT the one I reached in the

people are interested have a better chance of becoming good articles.
Your conclusion is far too pessimistic!

THere are larger groups on both sides, and more interest in the
article. Hundreds of fundie Christians, for example, want to write
into the gay articles that homosexuals will burn in hell if they don't
cure themselves. However, hundreds of gay people will not let them
get away with pushing that prejudice, having a healthy culture of
their own. Also, there are enough non-gay sympathisers to resist the
fundies, and enough wikipedia admins to see that factions of
Christians can't turn articles on gay culture into their own hateful
propaganda (so much so that those who want to say such things formed
their own, deliberatedly bias version - Conservapedia - to push their
own views)

I believe I said that. Only two or three people are interested in
such subjects as Bayanis - which is a minority interest view within a
minority interest area. Only a small number of people are interested
in the Baha'i articles. Most people don't care about the Baha'is.
Even fewer people care about the Bayanis, who were mostly forgotten
once the majority of the Babis became Baha'is two centuries ago.

You probably don't have the arguing skills to put your point of view
across coherently. I certainly find it increasingly difficult to
understand the points you're trying to make here, when you suggest,
elsewhere in this thread, for example, that you have ever tried to be
"helpful" to Dermod - who you've been calling "Dead Weed" for upwards
of 18 months.

Indeed, you do.
Let me sum up what you said here: NOTHING.
Bayanis could care less about the succession of Husayn Ali other than
making the point that his son did to his step brothers what Husayn-Ali
did to Subh-i Azal.

Bayanis have never said The Point was a successor to Seyyid Kazim of

Ra Ra Ra.
Bayanic.com is a collection of works by primary figures and accounts
by past Bayanis. There is not a single account in there that comes
from me or or Nima unless it says so.

WP appears to be a democratic system. The more people support a
particular point of view thebetter chance of the material going their
way.
And that is what is happening as far as Bahai and Bayani point of
views are concerned. I put in a note that is supported by the primary
Bahai sources but it was undone with 'uncited'! Now, how do I get to
make this point when Bahais keep undoing it for their own interest?

How can those people be interested when the do not know about Bayanis
and what they have to say?
Majority of Bahais do not know about Bayan and Bayanis let alone non
Bahais.

May be you should to look at my contribution to the "Bab's
succession".
I did't argue with anyone. I pointed out the Bayani point of view. I
would be interested to know if there was one single Bayani
contribution recorded in the article. Worse than that the"Bahaullah"
article might as well have been written by Shoghi Effendi.
As far as Dead Weed is concerned, I don't think we got anywhere close
to talk about anything other than abusing one another in the past year
or so.
He always said he was not interested and was always keen to make smart
ass comments. So, I believe "being helpful to .." is just out of place.
The only sign you should have seen from me is this "No Bullshit".
I don't expect at all that you or Dead Weed agree with me.
Your ego is much stronger to allow that to happen.
As for Dead Weed I like to do without him.

As you say, Bayanis don't see the Bab as a "successor" to anybody - so

Succession", which is what you seem to want me to do is what actually

I've read some of the Essays from that site that Nima has posted to
this forum. His hands are all over it.
It doesn't just collect sources, it tries to distort them to portray
the history you want in the way that you want to portray it - in
PRECISELY the way which Vance Salisbury criticises the Baha'is for
doing in an essay with Nima has also posted to this forum.
Anyway - the point that I would advise Seon, or other newbies coming
at this material for the first time is that the history exists only in
mutually hostile sources that accuse each other of all kinds of
wrongdoing.
Bayanic.com is a biased site, in exactly the same way that bahai.org
is - reader beware!

You can't mean both. Written from top to bottom by Baha'is means 100%
Baha'i.
Majority means more then 50% but not as much as 100% Baha'i.

You have only seen in practice the minority interest articles that you
have edited - the ones on Bayani issues.
I am talking about issues which are controversial, but of interest to
LARGE NUMBERS of people. These are my examples - articles on Charles
Darwin, articles on Homosexuality, articles on Judaism, articles on
Israel.
When there is lots of interest in an article, the Wikipedia theory of
self-correction works to an extent, because of the involvement of
talented people and experienced editors.
The process breaks down in minority-interest articles because there
are no talented contributors, and whichever admin types do become
interested cannot referree the fights in order to benefit the articles
with constructive outcomes.

That's true to an extent, but I think having more talented, better
informed writers coming to those articles, and more experieced admins
mediating the arguments tends towards Wikipedia achieving its stated
aims.

Any argument about having large numbers of people interested in an
article tend to make it better certainly don't apply to the Baha'i and
Babi articles.
There's only about 5 or 6 people interested in editing articles about
Subh-i-Azal, Charles Mason Remey, Soghomanian and Joel Marangella.
There are only about 15 people interested in the Baha'i articles.

I mean, that if you had read on, you would have found that I was
making the point that the good things that I think happen when there
is a large interest in an article do not apply to Baha'i and Bayani
pages.
I mean that when you said "that's not how it works with the Bayani
pages", that this is precisely what I was saying - that the good
things that happen when lots of people find an article controversial
and want it to say what they believe do not apply to the Baha'i and
Bayani pages, where only 4 or 5 people of opposing viewpoints,
probably none of them talented enough to write a fair, readable NPOV
article, are using Wikipedia as a forum for their personal axe-
grinding rather than attempting to write a good article.
Indeed - because, of course, Shoghi Effendi was well known for
publishing photographs of Baha'u'llah in all his books on the Baha'i
Faith!
You've mentioned a particular example - of someone asking you to cite
some information behind a change you made. Thing is, if one set of
sources always refers to people of your point of view as "Bayani" and
another set of sources always refers to them as "Azali", it's not
enough to simply point to the sources you want to emphasise and expect
neutral admins to ignore the fact that other sources exist. You have
to be able to make your case coherently, and according to how
Wikipedia is meant to work.

That is a big accusation with no evidence. Cite to me where you think
"tries to distort".
In fact it exposes Bahai distortions which is what you failed to see.

In the sense that all accounts are Bahai accounts. There is not much
Bayani point of views in there.
Citations are third level accounts. For example quoting Juan Cole for
a historical account whre Cole himself quotes a Bahai source. Majority
of the citations are also Bahai.

Compared to a subject on say George Bush, may be. My problem is what I
said before. One Bayani like me will not be able to include the Bayani
point of view in a page that is very much related to Bayanis just
because of the presence of the Bahais in there. I am sure WP works
very well in science related matters. In fact I look up WP for many of
my scientific problems.

Yep. That is what I said too.
Look! I said even Husayn-Ali in his own books such as Aqdas and Kitab-
Badi refers to Bayanis as People of Bayan.
Should I have include a link to those?
I said Subh-i Azal did not claim to establish a new faith. Did I need
to cite that.
I said the Persian Bayan never refers to the faith it founded as the
Babi religion. Should I have included a citation for that?
Those people who keep saying Babi should have included a citation to
prove that the "Bab" established Babi religion!
I said the title "Bab" was for the first four years only and I cited
his Book of 5 Modes.
If I can't get them to include these, then there is no hope. Those
people who keep undoing them are Babais donating 9 pointed Stars to
one another! They are no neutral editor.

mmm!
I might have wanted to help hi mental health in a sarcastic way, but
as I said, I never had any meaningful discussion with him. It just
never came up! He was not interested. He is just interested in you
know what!
Talk to Wahid Azal. He runs around the internet claiming that you are
Babis. Even though I think he is wrong, it does cause confusion. Please
advise when you've gotten him around to seeing your side of this.

Interesting post, this one Pat.
It seems to confirm something that I thought was true, but which Steve
denied, when I said that I thought Nima and Steve were responsible for
most of the original material on the bayanic.com site.
This *does* look to me like Nima claims some ownership and
responsibility for what is written on that site:
"We used it all over bayanic.com"
Paul
Still, it remains hard to say for sure if Steve is one of Wahid's "we" or
the "we" is just the 78 wee white mice and Wahid.

Heeeey! Hold your donkeys!
You are the confused one.
The important thing is to acknowledge what is right and what is wrong.
I am not responsible for Nima.
Prior to the year 1850 there was no Bayan and as per the Book of 5
Modes, the firs 4 years were the period in which the Point held teh
station of Bab-hood.
Then for two years were the station of Qaiem-hood and after hat the
Point-hood or the station of divinity.

> Death2: What do you mean what? No, the term "azali" is pejorative. Not Babi.
My point is that the use of the term Azali torefer to Bayanis is
ambiguous and
misleading. Itcratesthe impression that SUbh-i Azal claimed a new
manifestation which is false.
> Death2: We used it all over bayanic.com, so take your skewed-eye bahaim head
That would depend on the context and the author. It may well be
quoting someone who goes by the crowd.
The imortant thing is the acknowledgment that those who believe in the
Primal Point and have rejected Husayn-Ali were Bayani and are Bayani
today.
Now, you can go around trying to find dirt but that will not get you
anywhere.

You are wrong!
It seems you use too much "it seems" without knowing much.
I have noting to do with the contents of Bayanic.com.
If you looked more carefully. All resources there are from Baynic
primary sources, and that accounts for 90% of the contents
The Bahai section of the site comes from the past Bayani scholars and
Jalal Azal as per the introduction on that site.
I believe Nima has the following contributions there:
The translation of the Tablet of succession
The translation of the poems by Tahira
A commentary on Husayn-Ali's swam song on Ghiyath and Mustaghath
Nima can confirm if there are any more. The site is clear on citing
the source.

Surely he must mean the site represents his though.
Try again.
With your hard core concluions drawn from"it seems", I a sure you can
imagine the rest of it too. Try to comprehnd whoteve is based on what
h says not yourimagination.
This is my "it seems":
It seems even one Bayani is proving to be too much for the 6 Million
Husayn-Alists.
What the hack KKKholi is sleight of handing is deliberately confusing
two different issues and trying to make it seem that the one which is
a slur applies to the other then re-applying the other unto us. It is
the shuffle game of bahaim dishonesty and sleaze which these people
have taken to an art form. This is the typical two-faced tactics of
this mob of demons, and an example in the manner in which these demons
have functioned since 1867. The argument is that the label "AZALI" as
an epithet of the People of the Bayan is a slur. Knowing this, KKKholi
is deceptively suggesting we have previously suggested that the term
BABI is a slur, when we have done no such thing nor suggested it
either here or on Bayanic.com. We have argued that the label "Bab"
qua precursor to Husayn Ali Nari in the manner these cultists have
used it is a slur on the Primal Point - which Browne himself has
pointed out as well. KKKholi is deliberately obfuscating the matter,
selectively taking the words and issues out of context (as these
demons always will), and then trying to apply it to us. "It seems"
KKKholi is full of it as usual.
W
BAHAIM Tactics & Techniques
1. As far as possible they hold back from responding
2. Then they claim no knowledge [of the given issue] by feigning
ignorance
3. After the exposer has exposed they will try to divert to secondary
and totally peripheral and irrelevent side-issues
4. The exposer is then painted as someone with an axe to grind,
biased, deluded (while they, the bahaim, still have not responded to
the main issue exposed)
5. Next they relate mental instability and insanity to the exposer
[i.e. shoot the messenger]
6. Then, the last tactic, is to wheel out several dubious personas on
the scene who claim to be neutral non-bahai observers who then begin
attacking the exposer as well as the issue exposed and supporting the
bahais and their issues as so-called non-bahais

There you go again. It's because he wrote "Babi" once too often, isn't it?

You lie. Steve repeatedly was saying that "Babi" was a slur. In fact, I
told you that last month and you said I was wrong.
"I said the Persian Bayan never refers to the faith it founded as the
Babi religion. Should I have included a citation for that?
Those people who keep saying Babi should have included a citation to
prove that the "Bab" established Babi religion!
I said the title "Bab" was for the first four years only and I cited
his Book of 5 Modes."

Be clear as to whom you refer to by "we". Steve has repeatedly and clearly
said that the Primal Point did not find the Babi Faith, and that even
Baha'u'llah referred to the Bayanis as "People of the Bayan"
> BABI is a slur, when we have done no such thing nor suggested it
You lie. Your white mice are not the rodents of the Bayan.

Now you are weaseling away to cover the facts, too. Thanks for the honest
confession.

Things that Nima has written, and I have quoted do not only exist in
my imagination.
I may have "imagined" that Nima wrote articles on the bayanic.com site
because I've seen Nima claiming that he has (as well as the fact that
he's posted some of these articles here before).
I've already expressed my views elsewhere on this thread (when I was
addressing Seon, a possibly interested outsider) as to exactly which
parts of bayanic.com I'd regard as worth looking at. Maybe you can
find those statements of mine before "imagining" what you think I'm
saying.
Paul
Do you acknowledge that given what is in Bayan and even by what is in
your Aqdas, the term Bayani better describes those who believe in teh
Point and have not changed their allegiance since then despite Husayn-
Ali's claim?
I just cited from there. Look for yourself. Take a look at the Library
section and the Bahai section.
You will know in 2 seconds.

Thank me again for pointing you out to you that according to the site
that is what Nima's contribution is and that your assertions on Nima
or my link with the contents of the site is simply your as well as
Hammond's wrong guess.
You were going to tell us which bit in that site were distortions!
BB: Do you acknowledge that given what is in Bayan and even by what is in
your Aqdas, the term Bayani better describes those who believe in teh
Point and have not changed their allegiance since then despite Husayn-
Ali's claim?
You've convinced me. Now what?

Nima/W. Azal says he uses the term "Babi" on the Bayanic site to refer to
Bayanis. This is what _he_ says.
- All Bad
Well, that is encouraging. (Just) hopefully you encourage other Bahais
to acknowledge something as simple as that.
Call me greedy! Do you acknowledge that there was nothing unbayanic in
Subh-i Azal entering Lady Fatima into Seyyid Muhammad's matrimony?
Didn't he clarify that?
When did I say "I was going"?
I ACTUALLY said "I already have". Look for my earlier posts on this
thread. As I suggested yesterday:
BB: Well, that is encouraging. (Just) hopefully you encourage other Bahais
to acknowledge something as simple as that.
I was telling you about Wahid Azal, the one you call Nima, referring to
Bayanis as Babis. He is not a Baha'i. Good luck w/ him.
BB: Call me greedy! Do you acknowledge that there was nothing unbayanic in
Subh-i Azal entering Lady Fatima into Seyyid Muhammad's matrimony?
Greedy! It looks wrong.

BB: Didn't he clarify that?
His clarification was that because he was one, he could do whatever he felt
like, or something like that. I would have thought that if he were one, and
there were something wrong w/ identifying Bayanis as Babis, then he would
stop doing that. I'll let you sort it out.

Since the early believers in the Bayan are called BABIs, and since the
pejorative term Azali was termed by your center of the covenant of dog
as a phrase of derision; since whenever you are caught with your pants
down you obfuscate and sleight of hand into irrelevant misdirections,
there is nothing to sort out.
