The Baha'i Faith & Religious Freedom of Conscience

 

AOL bahai message boards

 

It's widely believed that Susan Maneck is the current "community leader" on the AOL bahai message boards. See the over five-year record of her activities to suppress free speech and conscience on AOL and a number of bahai newsgroups and mailing lists at Maneck.

To understand how long of a problem the censorship has been, under the fundamentalists among my fellow bahais on AOL, please read a 1998 message by an AOL member.

This file contains extensive evidence of censorship by the Bahai Forum Leader Mark Foster,
Susan Maneck, and other Bahais on AOL.

See Maneck's references to my opinions and ideas as "garbage" and "litter." Some might
find it helpful to compare the revelations of Juan Cole on Susan Maneck: Re: Ms Maneck, Dr Cole 2/21/99
